Current knowledge and techniques of indoor microbiology in relation to the next era of theory pertaining to micro-organisms

The article revisits existing paradigms in microbiological control thinking in the built environment and introduces an emerging model for fostering indoor microbiology, rather than fearing it.

Educational Objectives

Educational Aim:
A critical look at current indoor microbiological knowledge and research technology used in creating a safe built environment.

Editor's comments:
Current theory on indoor microbiology research may not be good enough to take humans to the next era of what a healthy built environment would be.

Educational Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module practitioners should have a clear understanding of:

1. The importance to search for well-founded scientific knowledge-based intervention to guide a microbial safe built environment thinking and practice

2. Exposure to a broad literature source of information regarding the nexus between a healthy the built environment safe from potential microbial hazards.
3. Renewed thinking to trigger a behavioural and attitudinal change on the possible synergy between microbial organisms and the built environment.
