OVERVIEW

Design and building professionals: you’re on call. Health is not just about the doctors and nurses; interior spaces, buildings, and communities have far-reaching impacts on wellness. Design choices can:

  • help prevent mold and moisture issues

  • provide fresh air

  • ensure access to clean drinking water

  • prevent exposure to toxic chemicals

  • encourage fitness

  • support healthy circadian rhythms
