VIBE stands for “Vlaams Instituut voor Bio-Ecologisch bouwen en wonen”. We are a Flemish non-profit organisation that promotes natural building and living and educates its principles. We’re talking about eco friendly homes and workplaces that form healthy environments for us to reside in. In doing this, we keep the four components in mind that make up a human and nature friendly construction:
Each of these aspects is looked at from the point of view of both health ("Gezondheid") and environment. Only this way we can get an insight into the whole picture. Our headquarters in Antwerp issues a label that is logically called the “VIBE-label”. It is awarded to distributors, contractors, architects and other construction professionals that have proven to be experienced in handling the materials we advise. Their addresses can be consulted in our data base. The key to this wanted label lies in the “natureplus” label, of which VIBE is the Belgian representative.
