Building biology is a science that investigates the health hazards commonly found in and around the built environment. These hazards can range from air, water and biological pollutants to electromagnetic field issues and geopathic stress.

A Building Biologist is trained to identify, test and where possible mitigate these hazards. Their role therefore is to educate and alleviate the health hazards that exist in their homes and workplaces. A Building Biologist also examines the use of building materials, their impact on indoor air quality as well as their embodied energy 'from the cradle to the grave' in order to assist in the selection of alternative and sustainable materials.

A building biologist will identify and make recommendations to create an environment that supports one’s mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

Career Opportunities for Building Biologists The employment opportunities for a building biologist are potentially extensive:

1) Work with the architectural and building industries to help design, build and renovate healthier homes

2) Work with complimentary medical practitioners and natural therapists to determine if the home or building is contributing to a patient's illness

3) Work with people who suspect their home is making them sick

4) To help businesses determine why their staff are continually sick

5) To assist businesses to comply with their occupational health and safety requirements

6) Conduct air sampling of particulates and VOCs
