WHAT
A Green Building is a Healthier One: Can working in a green building make you healthier? And if you can prove this, would it reduce a company’s health care insurance? Find out if this is a game changer when considering how and when to build sustainably. The EPA projects Americans spend up to 90% of their time inside buildings. Panelists will discuss the impact to our health and how improved design translates into dollars and lives saved.
