The world's first medical seal for buildings.
AFBA certifies buildings of all asset classes, neighborhoods as well as indoor and outdoor spaces as allergy-friendly and thus according to the highest health standards. Medically and scientifically tested, proven and economically convincing. The AFBA seal is a valuable add-on to all existing asset certifications and is 100% ESG-compliant.
Added value for real estate
Being AFBA-certified increases your occupancy rate, reduces fluctuation and fulfills ESG criteria with substance.
Productivity & well-being
You reduce your employees' sick days, increase their satisfaction and create healthy spaces for allergy sufferers and everyone else.
Medical AFBA seal
Medically sound and scientifically proven - developed with renowned doctors, scientists and engineering firms.
We certify buildings that have been built or renovated according to medical standards.
We support the construction industry, developers, real estate owners and portfolio managers in the development of buildings that are demonstrably allergy-friendly.
Prof. Carsten Schmidt‒Weber, Director of the Center for Allergy and Environment ZAUM
“There will never be an office without allergens, and we don't want that at all. It's not about creating clean rooms, but about getting rid of the most common triggers of allergies as far as possible. That benefits allergy sufferers, but also healthy people.”
New building
AFBA supports the design of new buildings so that they meet the highest health requirements both indoors and outdoors.
