Building for Health: Where Public Health and Energy Policy Intersect
Our buildings not only use energy and produce greenhouse gas emissions, but also directly affect the quality of life and health of occupants. Often, the same building improvements that save energy and reduce pollution can also provide better indoor air quality and resilience to extreme heat. This Forum will feature speakers who work at the intersection of public health and energy, with the shared goal of creating sustainable and healthy buildings in our communities. Join us for this online event, which is free and open to all.
