Building biology is what helps you make your space healthy and fulfilling
It matters because our health is impacted by a range of factors such as genetics, physiology, and our behaviours and choices (e.g. the amount of exercise we get or our diet). Building biology is based on science, at deliberately conservative levels, which aims to protect human health. It’s all about finding out what is potentially harmful in the built environment and providing strategies on how to fix them.
Why building biology matters
Building biology has everything to do with ensuring that your living environment is healthy, positive, and enriching.
This ranges from selecting the right building material to designing your space in a way that maximises natural elements and aligns your emotional, social, and physical needs.
At Building Harmony, this means that we focus on multiple elements of your home, including:
- Indoor air quality
- The allergen load in your space
- Thermal and acoustic load
- Electromagnetic fields
- Mould and excess moisture
By assessing your home against these factors—and more—we help you create a living space that ensures the mental and physical wellbeing of you and your family.
