The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just updated its ventilation guidance on helping prevent indoor transmission of the virus that causes COVID. It includes a recommendation to get at least five air changes per hour of clean air in occupied spaces.Dr. Joseph G. Allen and other experts have been advocating for this guidance even before the pandemic. He's the associate professor and director of the Healthy Buildings Program at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.Dr. Allen tells “Conversations on Health Care,” that “Making indoor air healthier came into the mainstream during the COVID-19 pandemic. New ventilation targets from the CDC are a key advancement of that work and are a historic public health achievement that can help normalize health-based indoor air quality standards. This new guidance can help mitigate indoor transmission of viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and influenza, and also help against other airborne hazards such as wildfire smoke and allergens.”Hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter talked to Dr. Allen last year and we're sharing the episode again to highlight these important issues.

It is pretty difficult to convey all of your thoughts and feelings in just 3 minutes. However that is all the time I had when I addressed the CCS Board on August 9th. And while I can't even begin to address everything in this Podcast episode, I can at least breakdown my speech a little to bring more context and understanding to my perspective.  SOURCES: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7580955/ Let Them Breathe Organization https://www.letthembreathe.net/schools Phewwww, the CDC is mostly on target in rules for reopening school this fall.

For those of you who work in an office and have been home for the past 17 months, you might be thinking of the transition back to work or maybe you've already returned. Covid protocols are obviously going to be top of mind for many people but what about indoor air quality in general?As we return to spaces outside our homes, we have less control over the environment. After all, you don't have a say in what cleaning products your building uses (or doesn't use) or how warm or cold your space is. And to some extent, that's true. But being in the buildings industry for over 15 years, I've realized it's a little bit like politics.In this episode, I want to give you some insights from someone who has worked as a sustainability consultant alongside design & operation teams of commercial buildings. We'll cover some of the things you can control when it comes to creating a healthier space at work, and how to have conversations with your employer and building manager to help support spaces for everyone.Health Canada, Indoor Air Quality in Buildings,2010: http://publications.gc.ca/collections/Collection/H46-2-93-166Erev.pdfHarvard Business Review productivity article: https://hbr.org/2016/09/air-pollution-is-making-office-workers-less-productiveEPA Safer Choice Ingredient List: https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice/safer-ingredients#searchListHealthy Buildings, Joseph G.

Joe Medosch took a wide and varied route to become the Healthy Building Scientist. On his journey he became an artist, electrician, home inspector, and professor. He did marketing and sales and now is on a small team at Hayward score tasked with developing questions and providing best practice advice to homeowners to address indoor health issues that they are facing. Hayward Score: Of the 23,000 breaths you take each day – about 90% of them are indoors. Breathing poor quality air has consequences. At Hayward Score both substantial scientific research and our personal journeys have led us to the knowledge that homes can (and should) be health supporting, not health degrading. Joseph G.

Sue is also Interim WELL Manager at Sweden Green Building Council and a member of SGBC's LEED Advisory Committee. Beginning in 2006, Sue worked extensively with the Canada Green Building Council, leading one of CaGBC's LEED certification assessment teams and serving on multiple volunteer groups including CaGBC's Technical Advisory Group for Sites and Water. After moving to Sweden in 2011, Sue brought her expertise in LEED to Sweden Green Building Council, where she organized the Council's LEED Advisory Committee, LEED working groups and multiple task forces to address issues of implementing LEED in Sweden.  As a LEED Consultant, Sue has participated on more than a dozen LEED projects across Canada, and in Sweden she led the LEED consultancy on Mästerhuset, Stockholm's first LEED NC Platinum project. Now working with Tengbom, Sue joins the firm's sustainability group implementing ambitious goals for a better built environment in Sweden and beyond. As the first WELL AP in the Nordics and a WELL Faculty member, Sue works to support and educate on the WELL system with individuals and organisations interested in applying better health and wellbeing practices to the built environment.   Show Highlights An architecture degree provides a great education for looking at things comprehensively. A point of comparison on how consultants interface with contractors and different building cultures work with innovation. The tapestry of complementary environmental certification systems and standards of green building in Sweden No fossil fuel resources within the national borders. The ladder of certifications-BREEAM, LEED and Miljöbyggnad.  Tengbom is one of the oldest architectural firms in the world focusing every build to be healthier, climate ready, low carbon impact and circular. Internal competences to address the EU and Sweden's climate declaration, mandates, and emerging legislative trends.  Buildings are not designed appropriately for the future.  Climate adapted building and the tools that address climate risks for that specific location and design strategies.   How cat food and drywall pushed transparency?   “This industry is just so much about personal relationships that I'd say it's really totally worth doing. The other thing I would recommend is beware the specialization, stay a generalist, as long as you can. I think the people out there that are really great at sustainability are really great generalists, and there will always be this temptation to go down these different rabbit holes of sustainability, like becoming a daylight expert or an LCA expert. It's not that these things aren't fantastic, but the more you specialize, the more you have to sacrifice this comprehensive picture.” -Sue Clark   Sue Clark Transcript   Sue Clark's Show Resource and Information Healthy Buildings by Joseph G.
