The Healthy Building of Tomorrow: Leveraging Smart Buildings to Realize Decarbonization and Occupant Health Goals
Wednesday, September 10, 2025 | Noon ET | 9:00 AM PT | 16:00 UTC
What you can expect from this webinar:
Buildings account for 40% of global CO2 emissions. We spend 90% of our time indoors. What do these two facts have in common? As leaders in the commercial building industry, we have a responsibility to design, construct, and operate buildings in a way that optimizes for the health of the planet AND for the health of occupants.
Enter smart building technology. Thanks to rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and our understanding of how indoor environments impact the health, wellness, and productivity of occupants, smart buildings are a necessary component of any sustainability strategy.
In this session we’ll explore our current understanding of healthy buildings and unpack the value and application of smart buildings in delivering health, wellness, and productivity outcomes.
Specifically, you will takeaway:
- Buildings are a major contributor to climate change: They account for 40% of global CO₂ emissions, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable practices in the built environment.
- Indoor environments significantly impact human life: Since people spend 90% of their time indoors, the design and operation of buildings directly affect health, wellness, and productivity.
- Dual responsibility for building leaders: Industry leaders must prioritize both environmental sustainability and occupant well-being in how buildings are designed, constructed, and operated.
- Smart building technology is essential: Advances in AI and environmental health science make smart buildings a critical part of any effective sustainability and wellness strategy.
- The session will explore practical applications: It aims to deepen understanding of healthy buildings and demonstrate how smart technologies can deliver measurable benefits for people and the planet.
