How can buildings support our personal health and wellbeing?
We Shape Our Buildings; Thereafter They Shape Us Winston Churchill
We spend most of our lives inside buildings, so it is important to understand how our buildings affect us, and in which ways. Can we make the indoors more like the outdoors? Join us at the Build for Life Conference 2021 and hear about the latest research, see examples of architecture and engineering design methods. ?
We teamed up with BLOXhub on the Healthy Buildings dimension. We spend up to 90% of our time indoors, this affects our physical and mental health in many ways. An optimal indoor?climate is an essential aspect of building design and operations, and the reward on cognitive and creative performance is huge. Our moderator on this topic Pernille Berg, Dr. Fil., herself a passionate scientific innovator, will guide the?Build for Life Conference 2021?presentations through the following questions:??
What is the impact of air quality in buildings in a post pandemic perspective??

He hopes that this can lead to more buildings where people feel better. Join the Build for Life Conference for his science talk in which he explains how digital technologies can give us architecture that?support?our cognitive wellbeing and mental health.??
How to provide healthy homes for Sub-Saharan doubling population?
Star Homes is a prototype housing project which brings the latest innovations in entomology, public health, and passive design together in a holistic approach to improve family wellbeing. The project has been conducted in three phases: the prototype phase, the scaling up phase and the health study phase, where the health of 440 children living in the novel homes will be compared with 1650 children living in local control houses. Jakob Brandberg Knudsen will explain the research outline and results in a key note.
