Certified Healthy Building Professional
The industry’s premier certification for creating healthier, safer, and high-performing homes.
Lead the shift toward healthier, more responsible buildings
The Certified Healthy Building Professional (CHBP) is a game-changing professional credential for architects, builders, interior designers, and consultants ready to lead the movement toward healthier, more sustainable residential design and construction.
CHBP exists because compliance, product labels, and sustainability checklists do not prevent harm. Healthy buildings require informed judgement, ethical boundaries, and an understanding of how decisions perform over time, in real buildings, with real occupants.
This program is designed for professionals who are prepared to carry that responsibility.
What this certification equips you to do
CHBP delivers implementation-ready knowledge and professional frameworks to help you:
Specify low-tox, transparent building materials with confidence
Improve indoor air quality and ventilation outcomes
Prevent moisture and mould issues at the source, not after failure
Integrate EMF-conscious design, biophilic principles, and building science
Communicate health-based decisions clearly with clients, designers, and trades
Understand where your responsibility begins and where it must stop
Who CHBP is for
CHBP is suited to professionals who:
Work across design, construction, or advisory roles
Want to future-proof their practice in a health-focused market
Are seeking more than aesthetics, trends, or minimum standards
Understand that credibility comes from restraint as much as knowledge
Relationship to Healthy Building Materials Essentials
Healthy Building Materials Essentials (HBME) is the recommended foundation for CHBP.
HBME builds material literacy and understanding of how materials influence health.
CHBP builds on that foundation and focuses on professional judgement, scope, and responsibility.
Completion of HBME is not mandatory, but strongly recommended for those without prior training in material health and exposure pathways.
Graduates of HBME receive a $500 credit toward CHBP enrolment, valid for 12 months.
