2020 was a year of widespread and unexpected disruption which continues to impact the way we live, work and plan our daily lives. While this experience has been an incredible time of change, it has put a greater emphasis on the importance to reevaluate the use of space, health standards and emerging technologies to positively impact and support well-being. This presentation will cover new space-planning design protocols, indoor air quality, advanced air-filtration systems and biophilic design elements which can be integrated into designs to create a safer environment and help our aging population live healthier lives.
