Building Biology. The Science of Creating Buildings that Deeply Nurture Human Health: Healthy Homes Show
Building Biology is a holistic approach to building for health that originated in the 1960’s in Germany. It is the science of building based on nature. Many of its concepts and recommendations are little understood by designers, builders, health practitioners and the general public in North America. There is currently much more awareness and interest about health indoors. The efforts of a handful of popular programs that address the issues are directed at creating buildings that do not cause health harm to their occupants, but optimal health is much more than absence of overt illness!
Paula Baker Laporte, FAIA, BBNC, BBEC, joins the Healthy Homes Show to share her knowledge about Building Biology and how it holds the key to indoor environments that deeply nurture our well-being.
