Because of a great number of practical experiences, we have learned that electromagnetic radiation (EMR) influences the well being of people both at home and at work. It is of great importance to understand the basics of EM radiation, so that people can help themselves, avoiding the numerous bad effects associated with EMR. For those who want to become professional Bau-
biologie Environmental Consultants (BBECs), it is important for them to also know how to detect these hazards and give mitigating advice.
The theory of EM radiation is demonstrated with practical examples and case studies, based on actual home inspections. Particular emphasis is placed on the bedroom as well as EM radiation that may enter the house via the public water supply system. The instruments used in the detection procedure are demonstrated. The abatement techniques are explained and one can also
learn how to discuss these techniques with clients, electricians and plumbers.
Topics include:
- Fundamental definitions of energy and how electricity is a special class of energy
- Concepts of AC electric and AC magnetic fields
- EMF low and high frequency ranges including radio frequency and cellular phone
- Definition of AC electric and magnetic fields and DC electric and magnetic fields
- Ionizing radiation
- Static electric and magnetic fields
Resources - Online Course Packs for Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) and Electrical Home Wiring (EHW) . The EMR & EHW Online Course Packs are included as part of the BBEC program for students who are registered in the entire BBEC Certification Track.
Time requirement - 5 days. Successful completion of a written exam and completion of the CC is required for BBEC Certification Track.
Course Materials - IBE provides a Course Handbook distributed the first day of the class; This comprehensive notebook is designed to supplement the daily lecture
Course Equipment - IBE provides equipment for use during the classroom instruction. Students are expected to purchase equipment for inspection assignments.

Currently, IBE plans three to four professional educational seminars per year offered at various locations in the US. This provides opportunities for the Institute to invite guest lecturers to contribute their Bau-biologie experience and to see close-up how Building Biology principles can be applied in practical settings.
This package is offered to students who desire topic specific information and who do not seek BBEC certification.
For two Seminars - Indoor Air Quality and Electromagnetic Radiation only paid in advance is $2250. A savings of $250.00
