We need a paradigm shift in how we characterise a good performing building, focusing on the need to put human health at the heart of metrics rather than as an after-thought? Measure people, not the building!

The ASBP Healthy Buildings Conference returns for a 5^th year, taking place online on 24^th February (10:00-12:45) with a number of inspirational speakers including:

• Professor Catherine Noakes OBE, Professor of Environmental Engineering for Buildings at the University of Leeds and Chair of SAGE’s Environment and Modelling Group (EMG) sub-group, which has provided key advice to the government throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Geraint Davies, Labour MP for Swansea West and Chair of the APPG on Air Pollution. In 2017, Geraint introduced the Clean Air Bill, which seeks to address both indoor and outdoor air pollution; and the Plastics Bill that calls for government to set ambitious targets for plastic reduction.
• Rosamund Kissi-Debrah, Co-Founder of the Ella Roberta Family Foundation. The foundation was set up in Ella’s memory as a way of remembering her life, her passions and learning lessons from her sudden death due to very severe and rare asthma. The foundation supports families with Asthma, and works to find the cause, cure and prevention of severe asthma in children.
