Building Biology Association

Building Biology Association The BBA is an independent organisation whose purpose is to promote the awareness, understanding, design, construction and use of healthy buildings.

Building Biology is the holistic study of the interrelationships between humans and their man-made environment. It is the science of creating healthy, life enhancing buildings. Buildings today often contain inherent chemical, physiological and biological risks as a result of materials and processes employed by the construction industry in a drive to minimise costs and build times. The UK currently

falls behind European and international standards of best practice concerning the use of many materials. On average we spend about 90% of our time indoors and 30% in bedrooms. With these exposure times even low concentrations of harmful agents can affect our health in the long term and cause chronic diseases. The Building Biology Association is an independent organisation whose purpose is to promote the awareness, understanding, design, construction and use of healthy buildings.

One of the highlights was seeing the 5 storey straw bale building where the conference was being held - Marvellous! Thank you to the IBN for organising the Conference.
