This 5-day seminar will show you how to create a home that supports human health, the natural environment, and planetary ecology in one fell swoop. Explore with us the dynamic interaction between the climate, the built environment, and the impact of that built environment upon the occupant and the ecosystem. Join us on this 5-day exploration of materials, furnishings, and finishes, heating and cooling systems, thermal and moisture movement, building envelopes, and safe, sustainable, technologically sound methods and practices aligned with The 25 Building Biology Principles.
