Health, Wellness and Productivity Unlocking the Human Potential in Buildings
by James Scott Brew (Nikken Sekkei)

Thursday, March 18, 2021 @19:00 JST

SUMMARY:
Global green building rating systems are increasingly including new requirements connected to occupant health, wellness and productivity. In order to meet these evolving green building standards, we need to better understand the evidence-based health and wellness interventions that can directly impact worker productivity and well-being. The results of recent medical research that explores this connection between buildings and the health and wellness of its occupants will support the business case for healthier green designs, beyond energy savings alone. Several studies documenting human productivity gains and improved cognitive function will be referenced as evidence to support this topic. Case studies of built projects will highlight specific health and wellness strategies implemented.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Participants in this session will be able to:

  1. Identify three (3) proven design strategies that impact worker efficacy.
  2. Describe three (3) or more financial metrics related to worker performance.
  3. Explain the relationship between building codes and health and wellness.
  4. Explore specific strategies applied in actual projects used as case studies.
