Certified Building Biology Technician: The Most Advanced IAQCert Course
At IAQCert, we proudly offer a range of specialized certifications designed to elevate professionals in the indoor air quality industry. Among them, the Certified Building Biology Technician (CBBT) stands out as our most advanced and demanding program. This course is not for beginners—it’s a pinnacle achievement that reflects serious dedication, comprehensive knowledge, and a passion for environmental wellness.
Why CBBT is the Ultimate IAQ Certification
The Certified Building Biology Technician course is designed for indoor air quality professionals who are ready to go beyond the basics. It requires the successful completion of several prerequisite certifications:
- Certified Indoor Air Quality Testing Technician (CIAQTT)
- Certified Mold Inspection Technician (CMIT)
- Certified Electromagnetic Radiation Technician (CERT)
Only after completing these foundational programs are students eligible to pursue the CBBT designation, making it a true badge of excellence and experience.
How CBBT Helps IAQ Specialists in Real-World Scenarios
Whether you’re consulting for homeowners, schools, or businesses, the skills gained through the CBBT program prepare you for complex, multi-factorial issues in the built environment. Here are just a few real-world examples of how this certification proves invaluable:
- Scenario 1: Multifactor Home Health Issues
A family complains of persistent allergies, poor sleep, and headaches. As a CBBT, you combine insights from mold inspection, ventilation flow, EMF detection, and radon screening to deliver a full-spectrum diagnosis—and remediation strategy. - Scenario 2: EMF and Radon in Commercial Spaces
An office tenant is concerned about high-tech equipment and health impacts. CBBT training allows you to conduct thorough EMF mapping and radon mitigation evaluation, helping the client feel safe and informed. - Scenario 3: Ventilation and Mold in School Buildings
You’re called to inspect mold growth in an older school. With CBBT-level knowledge, you examine ventilation design, moisture pathways, building material interactions, and microbial activity to build a complete remediation plan.
