Building Biology Course IBN

building biology course

The Building Biology Course IBN (BBC) has been available in German since 1977, in English since 2016.

The BBC provides an interdisciplinary educational opportunity for building professionals such as architects, engineers, technicians, tradespeople, staff members of construction companies, building material manufacturers and suppliers, housing agencies, building management companies, as well as (environmental medicine) health care professionals, but also for students from e.g. technical colleges and homeowners.

Even if you do not have any relevant previous knowledge in this field, you can take the BBC after consultation with the IBN. The study of building biology will increase your competence in the field of healthy, sustainable, and holistic building practices as well as open up new career opportunities.
