About the program
Building Biology Course is an e-learning course, providing 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, but also for students from e.g. technical colleges and homeowners. The course can be undertaken without any prior experience with the field (a consultation with IBN is recommended).
The “Fernlehrgang Baubiologie” focuses on indoor climate, technical infrastructure and environmental performance of the building. The basic knowledge of building biology is divided into 20 different course modules. For a better learning experience, the “Audiovisual Media Section” offers videos, online lectures, podcasts, and illustrations. The course can be started at the beginning of every month and usually takes about one year to complete. The distance learning course is accompanied by two seminars, also possible to complete online.
