The Healthy Indoors Partnership's next two webinars focus on healthy,
sustainable buildings including new schools:
* October 9, 2007: IEQ and Sustainable Buildings
The new LEED and Go Green standards for sustainable design, construction and
operation are generating interest and awareness in the public and private
sectors. These standards are more demanding than existing building code
requirements with respect to environmental and energy performance
requirements. Improved indoor air quality and comfort, in addition to mould
and moisture control and increased building durability, are consistently
cited as key advantages of living and working in sustainable buildings. The
presentation will present an overview of the LEED and Go Green indoor
environmental quality requirements with discussion of some case studies. 12
noon to 1 PM Eastern Time.
Presenter: Michael Glassco, National Operations Manager, Theodor Sterling
Associates
* November 20, 2007: Designing and Constructing Healthy New Schools
The importance of creating and maintaining healthy schools is becoming more
evident as research and experience are indicating that health and
performance can be affected by the built environment. In Nova Scotia,
guidelines for Healthy School Design and Construction were developed and put
into use over the past decade. This webinar will outline the guideline being
used, what is being learned through the construction of what we call
"Healthy New Schools", and will give an overview of our complementary work
to ensure these schools remain healthy over their lifetimes. It will also
touch on the similar efforts to benefit the operations of existing schools
and on the partnership between "Green" school and "Healthy" school design
and construction over the last decade. 12 noon to 1 PM Eastern Time.
Presenter: Karen Robinson of Enviro-Health Consulting Limited and President
and CEO of CASLE (Canadians for A Safe Learning Environment)
