About the Healthy Buildings Program
Creating the Foundations for Healthy Buildings for All
The mission of the Healthy Buildings Program is to improve the lives of all people, in all buildings and beyond, everywhere, every day.
The program aims to harness the power of research, business collaboration, and commonsense messaging to advance solutions for human health within the built environment.
We create reports, tools, and other resources to empower people to apply the latest research on healthy building solutions to their everyday lives.
We bring together business leaders, policymakers, health experts, innovators, students, and other stakeholders to tackle the world’s most pressing health challenges.
Building engineers and facility managers are the true heroes of our health. Because the decisions we take today regarding our buildings will determine our collective health for generations.
