The spaces we occupy are no longer static containers, but systems that must react with us just as we react to them. Considering that we spend over 90% of our time inside buildings, even slight changes in our indoor environments can have drastic effects on our mental, physical or emotional well-being. Our wellbeing begins where we live our lives—in schools and offices, in shopping malls and health clubs, in the places where we give birth, eat, sleep, wake and celebrate.

The health of our buildings directly affects our own health. Pioneering workplaces around the globe have turned to workplace design experts to maximize their employees’ well-being and, in turn, their companies’ productivity and success.

The shift from design standards to operational standards - from design to operational performance - is changing the nature of the industry. Real-time monitoring is bringing a pulse to buildings, changing the business models of consultants, the relationship of building owners to tenants and of companies to employees. Past business models are giving way to new opportunities, and nowhere is this greater than in the field of healthy buildings.

With the increased access to outdoor air pollution data, there has been a surge in demand for indoor air quality to be within international health limits. But what are these global IAQ health limits? What standards does one follow? How good should good air quality be?

This is where real-time indoor air quality monitoring comes into the picture.

This seminar will look to answer some of the following questions:

• How much of our air quality, and thus health, is within our control?
• Why should tackling air quality be a priority for better health?
• How can indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring help create healthier spaces and profitable businesses?
• Where are the bottlenecks in India regarding performance-focused buildings and spaces?
• What are the opportunities in the air quality monitoring space?
• What are the necessary standards that one needs to follow to ensure efficient and accurate air quality monitoring?

Join us for a seminar on Tuesday, 6th February 2018 at the Paharpur Business Centre with representatives from the Indian Green Building Congress (IGBC), the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) India, Care for Air, BreatheEasy and GIGA, the creaters of RESET, the world’s first building certification focused on people's health.
