CERTIFIED HEALTHY BUILDING PROFESSIONAL

How the Certified Healthy Building Professional stands apart…

Why Australia’s top architects, designers, and builders are choosing this industry-leading program

Created by a Globally Trained, Industry-Leading Building Biologist

The Certified Healthy Building Professional course is led by Annie Scog, a fully qualified, field-active Building Biologist with formal education from three internationally recognised institutions:

• Advanced Diploma of Building Biology (ACES – Australia’s only government-accredited program)

• BBNC Building Biology New Build Consultant (Building Biology Institute, USA)

Every module in the course is informed by Annie’s hands-on experience and global involvement in material health innovation and transparency.
Built on Original Frameworks

Our materials assessment framework is grounded in licensed, evidence-based methodologies.

We build on original sources with full attribution and respect for intellectual property.

We’re committed to transparency, ethical practice, and giving credit where it’s due.The Material Health Navigator™: Built on Real Tools.

A trusted guide for selecting healthier, safer, and more transparent building materials.

The Material Health Navigator™ is a rigorously developed, original framework grounded in the highest global standards for material health.

You don’t need another app or database.
The data already exists - in robust, science-backed systems like the Health Product Declaration Collaborative (HPDC), Declare, Cradle to Cradle, and numerous other internationally recognised frameworks. What professionals need is the skill to interpret and apply these tools effectively - not yet another platform that simply repackages what’s already available. Annie’s methodology reflects a significant, ongoing professional and financial investment in the tools that matter:

• She’s a paid member of HPDC, with full access to their toolsuite for evaluating product ingredients and hazards in real time.

• She serves on the HPDC Hazards Technical Sub-Group (TSG), contributing alongside global experts to shape best practices in hazard disclosure and classification.

This gives her students direct access to internationally aligned, professionally respected systems - not outdated spreadsheets or closed-loop rating tools.

Each lesson in the course is shaped by Annie’s current field experience, regulatory insights, and live updates from industry-leading databases.

The Material Health Navigator™ isn’t just a teaching tool - it’s a declaration of professional ethics. It:

• Respects intellectual property

• Supports open-access transparency

• Empowers professionals to make scientifically credible, implementation-ready material choices

Annie shows you how to work smarter with the best tools already available.

Goes Far Beyond “Low Tox” Buzzwords

This course doesn’t just teach you to avoid nasty chemicals. It trains you to understand and optimise every layer of the built environment for health and performance.
Topics include:

• Moisture management and condensation risk

• Thermal bridging and hygrothermal performance

• Material science, lifecycle thinking, and sustainability

• Indoor air quality, biophilic design, and EMFs

• Building envelope design and mould prevention

Why it matters: Safe materials are just one piece of the puzzle. This course empowers you to design systemically, with full awareness of how construction, climate, and occupant behaviour impact health over time.

Transparency over Greenwashing

Founded by Annie Scog, creator of The Transparency Movement, this course champions:

• Ingredient disclosure in building products

• Health-first design frameworks

• Support for women in construction through funded programs

• International alignment with HPD, Declare, and Cradle to Cradle

Why this matters: In an industry flooded with vague claims and greenwashing, true transparency is rare - and essential. Knowing what’s actually in the materials you specify protects your clients, strengthens your credibility, and enables informed, ethical decision-making. This course gives you the tools to cut through marketing spin, ask the right questions, and lead with integrity - backed by global best practices and a values-driven commitment to real change.

Bottom Line:

If you’re seeking a healthy building course that is:
✔ Authentically qualified
✔ Ethically developed
✔ CPD-certified
✔ Scientifically robust
✔ Professionally recognised
