Newly rewritten from scratch in 2022, IBE 101 Natural Healthy Buildings, our home-study course, is the foundational introduction to the science of Building Biology, and the interaction between the built environment and human health.
The course is organized into four sections:
- Section One provides an introduction to the Building Biology Institute and Building Biology Principles, the Biological Home, Building Science, and Indoor Climate.
- Section Two introduces you to Airborne Biological Exposures, Combustion and Ventilation, and Particulates.
- Section Three further explores factors which explore Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), including Chemicals, Soil Gasses (like radon), and Water Quality.
- Section Four covers Electromagnetic Radiation, and the effects of Daylight, Colors, and Sound.
IBE 101 can be completed entirely at your home or office, at your convenience. It has been designed to assist you in understanding the many environmental hazards found in homes, offices, schools, and commercial buildings.

This excellent and thorough primer on creating healthy indoor environments is considered a primary source-book for practicing Building Biologists.
