BUILDING BIOLOGY: "THE SCIENCE OF HEALTHY BUILDINGS"

9/22/2024 - 2 MIN

​

As a part of building science, Building Biology focuses more on how the built environment affects the health and well-being of its occupants. 

​

Building Biology is founded on 25 principles, which you can read about here:

​

25 Building Biology Principles - Building Biology Institute

​​​

The keystone for these 25 principles is the opening statement, "These guidelines help to assure a dwelling is life-enhancing for all its inhabitants, and not detrimental to its builders, with as little disruption to the environment as possible, and apply to new construction as well as to renovations."

​

The science and philosophy of Building Biology really struck a chord with me. I stumbled upon it after I got sick from a rental home I was living in. See Our Story - A Deeper Dive.   

​

As I dug deeper, I realized it echoed so much of what I had been going through in life, as well as our own philosophy behind Spaces That Make You Feel Good, which you can read about in our ABOUT section:

​

"It became a mission to be able to give someone a home that evokes peace, comfort, and beauty in every view. Each project is a livable piece of art that is not only functional and respectful of the surrounding environment, but one that nourishes the mind, body, and soul."

​​​

It wasn't long after that I got my Building Biology Advocate certification.
