ONLINE WEBINAR!

While health has always been a part of sustainability, exciting new data (and some scary findings) are driving rapid change to a health-motivated perspective in the green buildings industry. Most building scientists and green building consultants are not public health experts, but a variety of tools exist in the marketplace that can help translate building strategies into positive health outcomes.

Session is designed to empower people who ‘only speak buildings’ to start ‘speaking human health’ today, using the best parts of tools available.

Learning Objectives

  1. Discover the degree to which human health is influenced by the built environment based on current research.
  2. Understand how the new energy code is addressing occupant health and how to meet these new requirements.
  3. Learn which additional tools are available to promote design of healthier communities, especially for building professionals with no formal health training.
  4. Comprehend which health interventions may be most cost-effective for a given project type.
  5. Commit to including one new human health intervention on your next design or construction project.
