In August 2024, nine years after the last edition, a new Standard of Building Biology Testing Methods (SBM) was completed, largely without its original initiator and developer Wolfgang Maes. The Building Biology Evaluation Guidelines for Sleeping Areas underwent a thorough revision, and new tools for assessing additional indoor risk factors were introduced for some Standard points. Furthermore, we revised the Testing Conditions, Instructions and Additions and Guiding Principles that supplement the Building Biology Standard and Guideline Values.

After more than thirty years in Neubeuern, we moved to our new IBN building in Rosenheim in September 2014. This flagship project allows us to demonstrate what building biology is all about and what healthy and sustainable building practices are possible and meaningful. After ten years, it’s time for a progress report: What worked? What didn't work? What would we do differently today?
