BranchPattern Webinar: The Energy-Health Nexus

Full title: The Energy-Health Nexus: Achieving Energy Efficiency and Indoor Environmental Quality Together

Energy efficiency and healthy indoor environmental quality have long been seen as mutually exclusive, but the two can be achieved together with the right forethought and strategies. We’ll explore decision-making when prioritizing each of these items, as well as tips and proven methods for achieving both energy efficiency and healthy indoor spaces at this event.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will discuss common trade-offs facing project teams when pursuing both energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.
• Participants will gain insight into projects that have successfully achieved both energy efficiency and healthy indoor environments.
• Participants will explore how different standards and frameworks help connect these two priorities.
• Participants will learn about decision-making strategies when seeking efficient and healthy spaces.
