It is a well established fact that indoor air quality, lighting and acoustic performance play a vital role in supporting health and wellbeing at home and at work but how do we provide comfort for occupants whilst balancing environmental concerns?

How do we design buildings that support health and wellbeing whilst dramatically reducing the energy? How do we make better use of the opportunities to maximise natural light, access fresh air and control ambient noise to enhance both architecture and the wellbeing of occupants whilst meeting our carbon targets?

Watch this AT webinar, in partnership with Schüco, as we explore the key issues:
How can we design buildings with a joined up approach to provide ventilation and avoid overheating?
What strategies can we employ to design for complimentary natural light and artificial lighting?
How can we reduce ambient noise at work and at home?
What robust and low cost options offer solutions to providing environmental ventilation?

Speakers:

Alina White, Associate, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios discusses the Three Chamberlain Square office building project within the Birmingham Paradise development, designed post-Covid with a particular emphasis on daylight and natural ventilation with an ‘inside/outside’ approach.

Nick Cramp, Senior Partner and Light+Air Leader, Max Fordham explains their holistic approach to developing innovative and creative ventilation and lighting designs to deliver environmental engineering solutions that benefit clients and occupants as well as meet carbon targets.

Dr Shaun Fitzgerald OBE, Director, Centre for Climate Repair at Cambridge and founder of Breathing Buildings, discussing approaches to hybrid and natural ventilation solutions in buildings. Dr Fitzgerald was called upon in Spring 2020 to help with the SAGE Environmental Modelling Group and he co-authored the CIBSE Emerging from Lockdown guidance, which included advice on ventilation in buildings.
