September always feels like a reset. As children head back to school, it’s also the perfect time for adults to recommit to learning. At BBI, we believe that continuing education is one of the best ways to deepen your awareness and sharpen your skills—whether you’re a parent, a homeowner, or a professional helping others create healthier spaces. To celebrate, we’re offering 25% off all online courses through September 30. Simply use coupon code backtoschool2025 at checkout to take advantage of this special opportunity.
This season also reminds us of another lesson: nature is in charge. September marks the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs through November 30. Storms and heavy rains highlight the critical importance of moisture control in our homes. Unchecked moisture can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and a cascade of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) concerns. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to explore courses like Managing Moisture in the Home or Indoor Climate Overview, which provide practical, science-based strategies for prevention and mitigation.
Beyond storms, fall is an ideal time to give your home an indoor health checkup. As temperatures cool and we begin closing windows, it’s wise to ensure ventilation systems are clean, humidity is balanced, and any summer wear-and-tear is addressed before winter sets in. These small seasonal habits make a big difference in maintaining the sanctuaries where we spend most of our lives.
For those ready to take that next step, our foundational home study course, IBE 101: Natural Healthy Buildings, is the perfect place to begin. This course provides the knowledge and practical tools you need to create a truly health-supporting indoor environment, and it lays the groundwork for further study in building biology. September’s back-to-school promotion makes this an especially good time to enroll.
Take advantage of the energy September brings—renew your learning, care for your home, and stay resilient in the face of the unexpected.
Until next time, here’s to healthy homes and healthy lives.
