The Green Home Professional Masterclass Certificate

Building Biology: The Foundation for Healthy Living – Established for over 50 Years!

What many dismiss today as a “trend” has a deep-rooted tradition in Building Biology (Baubiologie). As early as the 1970s, a progressive group of scientists and practitioners recognized that our built environment has an immense impact on our health and well-being. While the world was in a state of flux and the limitations of post-war mass housing became apparent, pioneers sought a holistic approach to building and living. Building Biology, as the study of the holistic relationship between humans and their built environment, laid the groundwork for what is now considered sustainable and healthy construction.

The scientific exploration of these topics was advanced at renowned institutions. Courses offered in the 1970s at universities like the Technical University of Munich marked the beginning of an academic discipline dedicated to the question of how buildings, as “organisms,” directly influence our health. These early pioneers recognized that a building is more than just walls—it is a living space that should be free from pollutants, noise, and unnecessary radiation. Their legacy is the realization that prevention is better than remediation and that the well-being of residents must be at the center of attention. This course directly builds on these groundbreaking principles and translates them into modern real estate practice.

Today, with global movements like ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and a steadily growing awareness of climate change, the demand for properties that are not only energy-efficient but also free of harmful substances and electrosmog has exploded. Your clients are more informed than ever; they expect you as a real estate agent not only to have knowledge of properties but also to have well-founded expertise in healthy living spaces, ecological materials, and future-oriented technologies. Those who lack this knowledge will fall behind. Those who possess it will become an indispensable partner. The Green Home Professional Masterclass is the bridge that connects the proven principles of Building Biology with the cutting-edge demands of the 21st century.


Your Journey to Becoming a Green Home Professional: Invaluable Added Value

Imagine this: a client asks you about the potential environmental risks of an older house. Or about subsidies for an energy-efficient renovation. Or about the impact of Wi-Fi on their family’s well-being. Will you just shrug your shoulders? Or will you confidently answer every question, build trust, and thereby not only facilitate the sale or purchase but actively drive it forward?

The Green Home Professional Masterclass takes you on a transformative journey. A journey that turns you from a mere real estate broker into a holistic consultant. You will learn to identify risks, recognize value-creation potential, and instill a deep sense of security in your clients. A GHP certificate is not just a document; it’s your proof of expertise. It’s the official testament that you are knowledgeable about the most complex questions in modern real estate.

This course is specifically designed to enable you to fulfill the mandatory continuing education requirement for real estate agents in Germany. According to Section 34c of the German Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung) and the Real Estate Broker and Developer Ordinance (MaBV), you as a real estate agent are obligated to complete at least 20 hours of continuing education every three years. The topics are wide-ranging and include legal foundations, sales strategies, and—most importantly—subject-specific content. The content of our Masterclass is tailored to meet the requirements of the MaBV. Each module concludes with a knowledge check, so you will hold an official certificate at the end that you can present to your competent authority as proof during an audit. This not only secures your legal position but also demonstrates that you take your profession seriously and are continuously educating yourself.


Transform your career. The Green Home Professional Masterclass is your direct path to becoming a certified GHP expert. Stand out, build trust, and gain the competitive edge you need to thrive in the modern real estate market.

The Modules: Your Blueprint for Unbeatable Expertise – Green Home Professional Masterclass

We have meticulously designed this Masterclass to teach you the entire spectrum of Green Home Professionalism in seven practical modules. Each module is a building block that will make you an undisputed expert.

Module 1: Asbestos – Master the Invisible Danger

Begin your journey with perhaps the most insidious topic: asbestos. You will learn not only how asbestos fibers cause incurable diseases like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma but also the crucial differences between solid and loosely bound asbestos. We will show you where to typically find this ticking time bomb in properties built before 1993—from roof panels and facade cladding to old floor coverings like cushion-vinyl and the inconspicuous black adhesive beneath them, as well as windowsills and fire doors. You will understand exactly what your legal obligations are as a real estate agent and what the seller’s are, because concealing a known defect can be considered fraudulent misrepresentation. Never again feel uncertain when a client asks about asbestos! You will know how to correctly communicate suspected cases, when an expert is absolutely necessary, and how to protect yourself and your clients from liability risks. This module gives you the confidence to act professionally and responsibly in critical situations.

Module 2: Mold and Moisture – Defeat the Enemies of Healthy Living

Enter the realm of moisture and mold. You will learn that a musty smell is not just unpleasant but an alarm signal for potential health risks (allergies, respiratory diseases) and significant structural damage. We will unmask the true causes of mold—from building physics defects like leaky roofs and thermal bridges to incorrect user behavior like insufficient ventilation—and show you the extensive health impacts on residents. The best part: you’ll learn not only to recognize but also to advise! You will understand which remediation measures are truly effective and how you can take preventive steps to avoid mold formation. Your ability to provide well-founded advice here will establish you as a trustworthy consultant who puts your clients’ well-being first.

Module 3: Indoor Air Quality and Pollutants – The Breath of the House

What do we really breathe inside our homes? This module opens your eyes to the invisible pollutants that contaminate our indoor air: from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde and solvents to semi-volatile compounds (SVOCs) that bind to house dust and can contain pesticides. You will learn to identify the sources of these pollutants—be they old building materials, furniture, carpets, or cleaning products—and understand their health effects, from allergies and headaches to hormonal disruptions and respiratory illnesses. We provide you with the tools to give preventive advice: which quality seals you can recommend (like the Blue Angel or EC1 Plus) and when professional measurements are essential. Become the guardian of healthy air for your clients!

Module 4: Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction – Setting the Course for the Future

Here you will delve into the numbers that determine a property’s value and future viability. Learn to interpret key metrics like the U-value (heat transfer coefficient) and understand the various building standards—from the energy-independent passive house to the eligible KfW efficiency house. We’ll familiarize you with the key technologies of the energy transition: from heat pumps and photovoltaics to controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery. You will be able to advise on how sustainable building materials reduce a house’s “gray energy” and what role the energy performance certificate plays in the purchasing process. You will learn how to advise your clients not just on the purchase price but on the total cost of ownership of a property—an invaluable advantage!

Module 5: Water and Resource Management & Sustainable Property Design – The Ecological Footprint of the Property

A “Green Home” doesn’t end at the front door! In this module, you will discover how a property can be integrated into its natural cycle. Optimize drinking water consumption by using efficient faucets and appliances. Advise on rainwater and graywater utilization to save valuable drinking water and reduce wastewater. Learn how water-saving garden irrigation not only conserves resources but also lowers operating costs.

We shed light on the principles of the circular economy in construction—from “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” to upcycling—and show you how you can promote waste prevention and consider design for recycling from the very beginning. This minimizes the ecological footprint and increases the long-term viability of the property.

But it’s also about aesthetics and quality of life: you will learn how to make properties biodiverse by promoting native plants and wildflower meadows that attract insects and birds. Unseal surfaces and enable rainwater infiltration through swales or green roofs to relieve the sewer system and improve the microclimate. You’ll also learn how landscaping and design elements improve sound insulation for more peace and well-being. Show your clients how their home can be a harmonious coexistence of people and nature that is not only ecologically sound but also comfortable and value-enhancing.

Module 6: Electrosmog – Minimizing the Invisible Burden

In our highly technological world, we are surrounded by an invisible phenomenon: electrosmog. This highly relevant module educates you on low-frequency electric and magnetic fields (from wiring, household appliances) and high-frequency fields (cellular networks, Wi-Fi, DECT, 5G). You will learn which frequencies are particularly relevant and why microwave radiation (yes, even from the oven!) can be dangerous if there are leaks. We will discuss potential symptoms reported by electrosensitive individuals, such as sleep disturbances, headaches, or tinnitus, and show you concrete protective and reduction measures: from power cut-off switches and shielded wiring to the conscious use of wireless technologies. This knowledge provides your clients not only with a healthier home but also with better sleep and a better quality of life—an invaluable factor for well-being!

Module 7: Final Module – Your Triumph as a GHP

The culmination of your journey! This module is the proof of your transformation. It summarizes all core competencies and prepares you for practical application. A comprehensive case study challenges you to integrate your knowledge from all modules and solve realistic scenarios. This is followed by the big Green Home Professional Masterclass Test, which puts all your acquired knowledge to the test.


The Certification: Your Seal of Quality for Competence and Trust

Upon successfully passing the final test with at least 80% correct answers, you will receive your personal Green Home Professional Certificate. This is not just a document but a recognized seal of quality that proves your expertise.

  • Irrefutable Proof: The certificate is your clear and documented proof that you have acquired the necessary expertise in all relevant areas of building biology, sustainability, and healthy real estate. It fulfills the legal continuing education requirement for real estate agents in Germany under § 34c GewO.

  • Competitive Advantage: In an increasingly crowded market, this certification gives you a decisive edge. You are not just a real estate agent—you are the Green Home Professional who answers today’s complex questions.

To ensure that your knowledge is well-founded and not just memorized, feedback on the quiz questions is only provided after the entire test is completed. The final test can be repeated a limited number of times, with a reasonable waiting period in between, to encourage you to study in depth and ensure the quality of the certificate.


It’s Impossible Not to Enroll in This Course!

The real estate market is changing rapidly. Those who were successful yesterday must recognize the signs of the times today. The demand for sustainable and healthy properties is increasing exponentially.
