Building Biology Meters for EMF, Air Quality, Particulates & Radon – Healthy Homes & Workplaces

You need help?
Please send a message to priggen@priggen.com

We offer a wide range of building biology meters: EMF meters and RF analyzers, magnetic and electric field meters, indoor air quality and particle counters, radon and radioactivity meters as well as instruments for material moisture and environmental parameters. This enables a holistic assessment of electromagnetic fields, indoor air, particulate load, radioactivity and moisture in homes and workplaces.

Building biology meters are designed to assess environmental influences in homes and workplaces – such as EMF exposure, indoor air quality, particulate matter, humidity and radioactivity. They combine practical measurement ranges with easy-to-understand displays and often acoustic feedback, so that even non-specialists can use the readings for building biology assessments. Classic EMC or laboratory instruments are more focused on standard-compliant testing or industrial applications.

Typical users include building biologists, experts, architects, energy consultants, remediation companies and health-conscious private customers. Application areas range from surveys in residential buildings, offices and schools to support during construction and refurbishment projects, verification of shielding measures and documentation of environmental influences in expert reports.

Depending on the instrument, you can measure for example:

  • high- and low-frequency EMF exposure (electric and magnetic fields, RF sources)

  • CO₂, VOCs, temperature, humidity and fine dust for indoor air assessment

  • radon and radioactivity in buildings

  • material moisture in walls and building components
    This provides a comprehensive overview of the most relevant building biology influences.

First define what you want to investigate:

  • EMF (HF/LF): RF analyzers and EMF meters for electric/magnetic fields and wireless sources.

  • Indoor air & particulates: air quality meters and particle counters, optionally with CO₂ and VOC sensors.

  • Radioactivity & radon: Geiger counters and radon monitors for long-term monitoring.

  • Moisture & materials: moisture and climate meters to assess building components.
    In addition, check measuring range, sensitivity, data logging capabilities and ease of use. If you describe your application, building type and target parameters, we will suggest suitable instruments or kits.

Many building biology meters are designed so that interested private users can carry out simple screening and comparison measurements on their own. However, for a professional assessment according to building biology guideline values, for expert reports or for planning remediation and shielding measures it is often advisable to involve an experienced building biologist or consultant. Measurement results do not replace medical diagnostics – for health issues you should always consult medical professionals.

Professional building biology meters feature calibrated measurement ranges and specified accuracies. For consistently reliable results – especially with frequent or professional use – regular verification or calibration in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations or your internal quality system is advisable. The technical data sheets of each instrument provide information on accuracy and available calibration services.

Yes, we are happy to help you configure a suitable kit – from a compact EMF meter up to a comprehensive case combining HF, LF and electrostatic instruments. An example is our electromagnetism measurement kit for experts and building biologists which covers several field types in one system. If you tell us about your application area, typical questions and budget, we will recommend an appropriate combination of instruments.

Building biology measuring instruments for healthy buildings

Building biology measuring instruments assess environmental influences in homes and workplaces. They detect electromagnetic fields, air quality, particulate matter, humidity and radioactivity. This category comprises EMF meters, RF analyzers, electric and magnetic field meters, air quality and dust meters as well as Radon and radiation monitors.

EMF and field measurement

Broadband RF meters and analyzers measure high-frequency radiation from mobile communication, WLAN, DECT and other radio services. Low-frequency meters record electric and magnetic fields from wiring and appliances. The results support building-biology assessments and mitigation concepts.

Air quality and particulate matter

Air quality meters determine CO2, VOC, temperature and humidity, while particulate meters detect dust, soot and pollen levels. They help to design ventilation concepts, filtration measures and building improvements.

Radioactivity and Radon

Instruments for radioactivity and Radon monitoring detect natural and man-made radiation sources in buildings. They provide the basis for evaluating basements, living spaces and sites and for planning protective measures.

Users and application areas

Typical users are building biologists, experts, architects, energy consultants, remediation companies and health-conscious private users. Portable instruments enable quick on-site surveys.

Benefits of professional building biology instruments

Professional building biology instruments offer clear indication, calibrated ranges and practical measuring concepts, providing objective data for decisions on healthy buildings.
