Centering decision-making around buildings to prioritize people presents a massive opportunity to developers, investors, and tenants alike. Join us as we discuss the 9 Foundations of a healthy building, how building owners and investors can prepare their workplaces for a healthy and safe return, and on the economics of healthy building investments.

Before joining the faculty at Harvard, he spent several years in the private sector leading teams of scientists and engineers to investigate and resolve hundreds of indoor environmental quality issues. His academic research focuses on the critical role the indoor built environment plays in our overall health.
