CEU Requirements

In 2006, the IBE Board of Directors re-evaluated the long-standing IBE policy for Continuing Education Units (CEU). Recognizing the importance that our Certified members be current in their education, the following policies were further defined:

Required number of CEUs per two-year period: 40 hrs
These shall be divided within the three major Bau-Biologie disciplines (Healthy Building, Indoor Environment, and Electromagnetics); however, at least 8 hours must be spent in each discipline over a 4-year period.
All CEU credits are based on a calendar year -- with the year of certification the starting year, regardless of what month you completed your certification.
One CEU equals one classroom or lab hour.
A grace period of 2-years for existing BBEI/BBEC, granted by the IBE Board in 2006, will end in December 2008 .

Ways to get CEU credits:

Attendance at the IBE Annual Conference (April 19 & 20, 2008) constitutes 16 hours that can be used in any of the disciplines
