We must take a whole life cycle approach to healthy material sourcing that considers the spectrum of upstream and downstream impacts of decarbonization and supports equitable outcomes for communities.

Filmed live at AIA Seattle’s 2022 Practicing Equity & Advocacy in Rapid Decarbonization summit, this session investigates healthy building strategies, labor and supply chain implications, materials toxicity and chemical concerns that affect the lived experiences of users. Presenters also explore historical and current community design practices that either inhibit or lead to healthier buildings.

After viewing this course, you will better understand healthy building strategies that reduce materials toxicity and adverse chemical reactions that affect the lives of building users.
