Greenbuild International Conference & Expo is moving its 2020 event to an all-virtual format. The capstone event will take place November 10-12, but ahead of that new Greenbuild single-day (live!) virtual Summits are providing deeper access to critical topics. Our own Charley Stevenson joins Danile DeBoo, Principal, and Premnath Sundharam, Global Sustainability Leader, both of DLR Group, and Jason Jewhurst, Principal, Bruner/Cott Architects, for Material Changes: Strategies to Create Healthier Buildings, during Greenbuild’s Health & Wellness Summit on October 22.
Today, growing health and social equity concerns, plus dramatically lower costs, make finding and using better building products both a moral and environmental imperative and an economically responsible choice. Charley and his fellow presenters have collaborated on large and small projects that incorporate wide-ranging healthier materials goals. In a moderated discussion, the group will move through the stages of a project, emphasizing potential obstacles and proven techniques to mitigate problems, related and perceived. By breaking healthier materials practice into small steps, this session will empower all participants to engage in this critical aspect of green building, building skills to lower the effort and cost.
