Description
GSA & FFC Series on Buildings and Health
The Office of Federal High Performance Green Buildings of the General Services Administration (GSA) has, over several years, conducted research on the impact of building design and operation on human health. The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, in partnership with the GSA, hopes to build a consortium of organizations, including GSA and other federal/private sector partners, to promote strategies that optimize health and human productivity and to prevent illness. The series is designed to encourage the federal facilities community to pilot and eventually adopt health-enhancing strategies in their buildings and, wherever possible, these discussions will reflect on strategies to support the home office and those who work from home.
