About us

I am Angela Balatoni 👋

Founder AFBA

I am committed to ensuring that rooms not only function - but do good.

I am convinced that buildings should be demonstrably healthy, containing as few harmful or allergenic substances as possible for the benefit of all those who live, work or invest in them. They should be certified, measurable and sustainable.

Making health visible

Creating sustainable value for real estate

Achieve certifications efficiently and cost-effectively

Consultation

Our mission

We are putting an end to invisible risks in rooms - and opening the door to a building culture that puts people back at the center.

AFBA stands for a new naturalness in building:

Sustainability is mandatory, health is optional!

Our certification makes visible what would otherwise remain hidden - from bad air to irritating materials. Together with experts, we ensure that healthy rooms become the norm.

Because those who build today help shape the life of tomorrow.

Our mission is to enable people to develop spaces with responsibility - in a well-founded, comprehensible and straightforward way. Whether architects, project developers or tenants - we provide orientation and security on the way to demonstrably healthy buildings.

Who are we?

💡 Our attitude

We stand for healthy spaces

Not every wall protects. Not all air is healthy. That's why we are committed to ensuring that buildings empower people - through clear values, medical knowledge and the courage to do things differently and better.

🤝 Our team

We bring expertise together

At AFBA, people from the fields of medicine, engineering, planning and environmental technology work with a common goal: to make health in the room visible and tangible - in a comprehensible and practical way.

🚀 Our task

We want change - with impact

We think about health right from the shell construction stage and accompany you through the entire construction phase. At the end of the certification process is our seal: as a visible sign of quality of stay, responsibility and sustainability.

People first

Buildings are used by people. Anyone planning and constructing buildings should always consider the impact of structural, technical and design measures on the people in the building.
