Indoor Environmental Quality: Healthy Design Academy
Brought to you by Armstrong World Industries

Designing to improve Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) remains a critical component of modern architecture. Safeguarding the health and wellness of building occupants must take into account a wide range of variables including air quality, sound, temperature, light, access to natural elements through biophilic design. What we are collectively realizing is that a healthy built environment is also a productive built environment and that extends to commercial spaces, hospitals, schools and homes. This academy offers a deep dive into best practices that support sustainable design specifically related to enhanced indoor environmental quality. Topics examined include managing natural ventilation, controlling noise and sound, trends, new technologies, and how to incorporate aesthetic beauty into sustainable design.
