Health in Buildings Roundtable
The Health in Buildings Roundtable focuses on issues, research, and best practices pertaining to engineered health-enhancing strategies and technologies and their deployment in the planning, design, and management of buildings and the built environment.
In formation
Description
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will establish a Health in Buildings Roundtable to provide a neutral setting for essential stakeholders to identify and discuss priority issues, research, and best practices regarding health-enhancing strategies and technologies and for their deployment in the planning, design, and management of buildings and the built environment. The roundtable will convene 4 times per year with experts and stakeholders across disciplines and sectors to share knowledge and improve the consistency of efforts by the member organizations. It will also provide a forum in which facility owners (both public and private) can discuss health-enhancing strategies of upcoming and ongoing projects, propose data-gathering plans, and share results. Topics that merit deeper analysis will be explored through spin-off National Academies' activities.
