Building Biology and Ecology Institute

the ultimate eco-architecture is one that interacts lightly and positively with its surroundings and enhances both the health and the well being of its occupants. the gap between this ideal and the reality of architecture has been discouragingly wide for many decades, but recent advances in technology and changing mindsets have begun bringing buildings back in line with true sustainability. at the building biology and ecology institute of new zealand (bbe), we are committed to researching and promoting the most sustainable, healthy and harmonious building solutions possible, and making them accessible to everyone.
