An authoritative introduction to a movement whose vital importance is now all too clear, Healthy Buildings breaks down the science and makes a compelling business case for creating healthier offices, schools, and homes. As the COVID-19 crisis brought into sharp focus, indoor spaces can make you sick--or keep you healthy. Fortunately, we now have the know-how and technology to keep people safe indoors. But there is more to securing your office, school, or home than wiping down surfaces. Levels of carbon dioxide, particulates, humidity, pollution, and a toxic soup of volatile organic compounds from everyday products can influence our health in ways people aren't always aware of. This landmark book, revised and updated with the latest research since the COVID-19 pandemic, lays out a compelling case for more environmentally friendly and less toxic offices, schools, and homes. It features a concise explanation of disease transmission indoors, and provides tips for making buildings the first line of defense. Joe Allen and John Macomber dispel the myth that we can't have both energy-efficient buildings and good indoor air quality. We can--and must--have both. At the center of the great convergence of green, smart, and safe buildings, healthy buildings are vital to the push for more sustainable urbanization that will shape our future."-- From publisher's website Business and economics 206142 General Real Estate Constructions durables 212936 Industrial buildings 237622 Health aspects Industrial productivity 114443 Effect of technological innovations on Sustainable buildings 281780 Macomber, John D., author. lcc 27 HC79.I52 General A55 2022 302822 302822 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2024-09-24 Amazon 34.60 0 General HC79.I52 A55 2022 91000000073700 2024-11-27 15:32:50 1 44.60 2024-09-24 27
