Let’s make the multifamily affordable housing synonymous with healthy building construction. Many of us already seek out healthy materials for our projects, and all of us can with the right information. This session will build skills and confidence in healthy material selection, improve our ability to talk about the potential health benefits of high performance construction, and distinguish the myth from the realities of healthy material cost, performance and availability. A nationally recognized expert in healthy building materials will review chemical hazards in building materials, with attention to advancing social equity and healthy re-entry after COVID-19 quarantines are relaxed. One of the nation’s leading experts in sustainable design integration, indoor air quality and energy performance testing will explain how healthy materials enhances your IAQ strategy to enhance human health and wellbeing outcomes, and avoid unintended pitfalls. A leading NYC affordable housing developer will describe how they are integrating rigorous materials screening into their affordable housing projects, creating healthy, high performance homes for all.
