  1. Hear from esteemed experts in the field of public health! During this webinar, you will hear research findings from the Healthy Buildings Team at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and learn about the most effective tools and strategies to create a healthier environment for students and staff.
  2. Learn about the 9 Foundations of a Healthy Building! Join this webinar to hear how health and indoor air quality (IAQ) are foundational to student health, thinking and academic performance. Turn your knowledge acquisition into action by committing to address the well-being of school occupants in current and future facility plans.
  3. Examine the evidence and make the case for healthy school buildings! This webinar will highlight more than 30 years of scientific evidence gathered on the environmental factors that affect student health and performance. Use this information to promote the importance of establishing an IAQ management plan and motivate leadership and fellow team members to maintain a healthy school environment.

In 2017, The Healthy Buildings Team at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health released the report Schools for Health: Foundations for Student Success, which clearly demonstrates that health is foundational to student thinking and performance. The report synthesizes more than 30 years of scientific research findings from over 250 research articles and more than 70 health and performance metrics about the impacts of indoor environmental quality in schools.
