Reducing electrosmog according to the Standard of Building Biology Testing Methods is an important feature of any building based on building biology criteria. ELF electromagnetic fields are minimized by implementing the following strategies:
- Use of zero-halogen and shielded cables and electrical boxes (including a complete upgrade of any pre-existing wiring) as well as selection of low-EMF lighting choices
- Proper equipotential bonding
- Location of electrical panels and the inverter of the PV system several meters from rest areas, bedrooms, and workplaces
- Additional shielding of the inverter
RF electromagnetic fields are minimized by implementing the following strategies:
- Continuous control measurements with broadband meter and RF spectrum analyzer
- Grounded shielding fabric embedded in exterior walls and in the party wall (for the roof area, the roofing material stainless steel acts as a shielding material) and shielding aluminum-clad wood windows
- Use of a hardwired network instead of a wireless network such as WLAN
- Cordless phones and smartphones are not used inside the building
