I met Anna Bjurstam and Neil Jacobs when they visited us at
the Harvard Center for Health and the Global Environment
almost three years ago now. Most recently, I have been working
with Six Senses as they adopt our nine foundations of a healthy
building as a strategy for optimizing their buildings for health.

Ventilation is one. We know the outdoor air we bring into a
space isn't clean, and it will have a big impact on you in terms
of cognitive function. Lighting has an acute effect on our
circadian rhythms. That's critical to our memory and basic
cognitive processes. Water quality: Is your water free of heavy
metals like lead and arsenic and other organic compounds and
biological compound like Legionella? [Air quality, thermal
health, moisture, dust and pets, safety and security, and noise
round out the foundations.]

How do pollutants have an impact on our health?

A whole host of them have longterm implications, but there
are many that are acute. They influence health immediately.
You want a place that's healthy and that's reinvigorating. The
overall awareness of this is growing. I travel frequently, and I
think about it from where I'm spending my time to the taxi or
bus I take to the airport and where I choose to stay.

How are you implementing these ideas into practice?

We're partnering with big companies and figuring out what the
strategies are. Anybody who has resistance is on the cost side,
but healthy buildings don't need to be expensive. We go above
and beyond code minimums, which are not all health based
and shouldn't be the target. It's not complicated to provide a
healthy space.

Is there a heightened awareness on built
environments and their health effects?

The green building conversation of the past 20 years is
changing. We're talking about indoor air quality, and it's
advancing beyond that. There's a proliferation of cheaper
[monitors and apps] on the market where employees can
measure carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds, and
they're talking about it, which is raising the awareness about
what this means. It's all part of a health-first mindset.
