What Does it Take to Get the Healthiest Workplace in the World?

October 18th, 2017, Wednesday

To date, most green building efforts have been focused on how we can make buildings and workplaces less bad.

But what if we can do better? What if we can create buildings that generate their own energy, treat their own water and support human health, wellbeing and productivity through access to daylight fresh air, daylight healthy materials and connection to nature?

That is the vision of the Living Building Challenge, a green building certification that is catching on in China, and has more than 380 projects globally.

"The Living Building Challenge is the most rigorous benchmark of sustainability in the built environment. It is the gold standard against which all others are measured."

Join us for an evening where we will explore a case study of one of the first Living Building Challenge projects in China, Glumac’s Shanghai office. Discover innovative tools such as Declare (the ingredients label for healthy building products) and RESET (the first building standard to assess the health performance of indoor spaces in real-time), that are creating the healthiest offices possible.

Do you want to know the key to creating the healthiest workplaces in the world? If so, join us to gain practical skills that you can apply to your next project.
