Low EMF Design & Build
Professional Training for Architects, Designers and Builders
Wireless technology is now embedded in modern homes. Wi-Fi networks, smart meters, solar inverters, Bluetooth devices, and building services all contribute to the electromagnetic environment inside residential buildings.
Low-EMF Design & Build introduces architects, designers, and construction professionals to the practical design considerations associated with electromagnetic fields in homes.
The course explains how electromagnetic fields are generated within buildings and how design decisions, layout planning, and building systems can influence exposure levels.
Participants learn practical strategies that allow modern homes to remain technologically functional while also supporting healthier indoor environments.
Australia’s Leading EMF Educator and Healthy Building Specialist
Annie Scog is a Building Biologist and healthy building consultant specialising in the integration of Building Biology, building science, and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) assessment within residential design and construction.
As the founder of Healthy Home Expert, Annie delivers science-based education, tools, and frameworks that help architects, designers, and builders create homes that support human health, material transparency, and long-term building performance.
Annie holds formal EMF Technician certification through the Australian College of Environmental Studies (ACES) and has undertaken advanced EMRS training with the Building Biology Institute in the United States. Her work combines both theoretical knowledge and practical field assessment, using industry-grade instrumentation and recognised Building Biology measurement standards.
In addition to her consulting and education work, Annie contributes internationally to discussions around healthier building materials and transparency through her involvement with the Health Product Declaration Collaborative’s Hazards Technical Sub-Group (TSG).
Her training spans programs in Australia, the United States, and Europe, providing a multidisciplinary perspective that connects Building Biology principles with contemporary building science and material health research.
Through her work with Healthy Home Expert, Annie focuses on translating complex environmental health concepts into practical strategies that design and construction professionals can apply in real projects.
Low EMF Design & Build
A Professional Training Course
Created and led by Annie Scog, Certified EMF Technician & Building Biologist
As wireless technology becomes increasingly embedded in modern homes, electromagnetic fields are now a routine part of the residential environment. Wi-Fi networks, smart meters, solar inverters, Bluetooth devices, and building services all contribute to the electromagnetic conditions within buildings.
Low-EMF Design & Build introduces architects, designers, and building professionals to the practical design considerations associated with electromagnetic exposure in residential environments.
The course explains how electromagnetic fields are generated within buildings and how planning decisions — including layout, building services, materials, and technology integration - can influence exposure levels.
Participants learn practical strategies that allow modern homes to remain technologically functional while also supporting healthier indoor environments.
The program draws on Annie Scog’s training through the Australian College of Environmental Studies (ACES), the Building Biology Institute in the United States, studies in Environmental Science at the Boston Architectural College, and additional work in Passive House and high-performance building frameworks.
The course also introduces participants to the role of natural earth energies and geopathic stress within Building Biology practice, providing a broader perspective on environmental influences in the built environment.
The goal of the program is simple: to equip design and construction professionals with the knowledge required to integrate EMF awareness into everyday building decisions.
