Human-centered sustainability: How do materials impact indoor air quality? Webinar

Welcome to the first of the ‘Human-centered sustainability’ webinars, an exciting new series of online learning sessions by Green Building Encyclopaedia!

Materials specification within a building requires a 360 degree knowledge on sustainability and health issues. How can we navigate this complex arena?

In this session, we will focus on how materials, adhesives, paints and furniture upholstery specified within a building affect the air quality, and as a consequence, human health.

We will address:

How to specify sustainable materials that are also healthy
What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and how to navigate regulations and products
What are the impacts of the most common materials pollutants on human health
How the WELL Standard and the BREEAM Standard guide you to choose appropriate materials
Tips on responsible sources of materials
Online tools, software and other resources available.

We encourage audience participation throughout and will end the session with a Q&A with your expert presenters.
