The Healthy, Adaptive Buildings Summit explores the synergistic relationship between the next generation of smart, sustainable buildings and the health and well-being of the people who occupy them.

Wednesday, September 20, 8:15am-12:15pm

Santa Clara, California

Research shows that even a small investment in building design and operations that affect health and wellness can result in huge percentage gains in productivity and employee engagement, leading to lower absenteeism and health care costs. The impressive growth of this field is enabled by a rich body of research demonstrating the value of the benefits of such buildings, driving advances in technology, design innovations and building management practices. All these efforts are reducing how buildings affect climate change, air pollution and human health — while creating productive and resource-efficient environments.
