Material Health and Safety: Tackling the hidden dangers of the indoor generation

Dubbed as the ‘indoor generation’ by some, most of us spend over 90% of our times indoors. Which means we need to ask ourselves, “Do we know what is in the products we are exposed to everyday?” Recent efforts have increased product transparency and access, but many projects still struggle to determine which product decisions will have the most impact, and how to incorporate this decision making into design and construction. Join our expert panelists from research, engineering, and manufacturing to discuss current efforts on materials modelling, the creation of easy-to-understand impact categories, and real-world stories of implementation for affordable housing, WELL projects, and manufacturing.
Don’t forget to “Meet us in the hallway” 1-1:30 p.m. EST.
