CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

• The roots of healthy buildings and building biology are here in Germany
• If you study medicine, you learn about illnesses but not about sickness caused by spending time in a building
• In any house, the most important place from our perspective is the bedroom
• We have drastically changed the way we live over the last few generations. Just 100 years ago, we spent much more time outdoors.
• We don't want to say we have to go back to the Stone Ages. I'm using a computer, I use electricity, in the institute we simply use it in a more efficient, less harmful way.
• We should use our bodies as a tool for movement in a natural environment every day.
