25 principles of Bau-biologie 1.
A building site shall be geologically undisturbed.
2. Residential homes are
best located away from
industrial centers and main traffic routes.
3. Housing
shall be developed in a decentralized and loose manner interlaced with sufficient
green space.
4. Housing and developments shall be personalized, in harmony
with nature, fit for human habitation and family oriented.
5. Natural and unadulterated
building materials shall be used.
6. Walls, floors and ceilings shall be diffusible
and hygroscopic.
7. Indoor air humidity shall be regulated naturally.
8.
Air pollutants need to be filtered and neutralized.
9. An appropriate balance
of thermal insulation and heat retention is needed.
10. The air and surface
temperatures of a given room need to be optimized.
11. A heating system shall
feature radiant heat using as much (passive) solar heat as possible.
12. The
total moisture content of a new building shall be low and dry out quickly.
13.
A building shall have a pleasant or neutral smell. No toxins shall outgas.
14.
Light, lighting and color shall be in accord with natural conditions.
15. Protective
measures against noise pollution as well as infrasonic and ultrasonic vibrations
need to be human oriented.
16. Only building materials with little or preferably
no radioactivity shall be used.
17. The natural balance of atmospheric electricity
and ion concentration shall be maintained.
18. The Earth’s natural magnetic
field shall not be altered or distorted.
19. Man-made electromagnetic radiation
shall be eliminated (or reduced as much as possible).
20. Cosmic and terrestrial
radiation is essential and shall be interfered with as little as possible.
21.
Interior and furniture design shall be based on physiological findings.
22.
Harmonic measures, proportions and shapes need to be taken into consideration.
23.
The production, installation and disposal of building materials shall not contribute
to environmental pollution and high energy costs.
24. Building activities shall
not contribute to the exploitation of non-renewable and rare resources.
25.
Building activities shall not cause a rise in social and medical costs. The
International Institute for Bau-biologie and Ecology, Inc. (IBE), established
in Clearwater, Florida
in 1987, is a non-profit educational organization dedicated
to bringing together the technical expertise, biological understanding and ecological
sensitivity to create healthy homes and workplaces.
