The need to decarbonise construction stems largely from its enormous impact on biodiversity. This process requires a variety of indicators to be considered, including the impact on human health. For these challenges to be addressed effectively, an understanding of the factors influencing health is essential, and for all stakeholders (technical, management and industry) to recognise and address these strategies in a collaborative and multidisciplinary manner. Inspirational and genuine benchmarks already exist: come and meet them.

We will look at specific examples of building renovation projects using innovative design approaches to improve people's health from various angles. Whether it is accessibility, indoor air quality, health and energy efficiency through bioclimatic and passive approaches, we will analyse how these strategies can transform built spaces into healthier and more sustainable environments.
