Sustainable Materials: Keeping People & Planet Healthy

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) matters quite a bit for encouraging productivity, ecological sustainability, and human health. How do we get there? By focusing design efforts not only on the materials inside our buildings but the materials that we actually use to build! We highlight design tools and processes that can help us build with healthier materials, better manufacturing, and a lighter carbon footprint.
