And while that is true, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. When you realize that you spend 90% of your life indoors, it is clear that the indoor environment has a big impact on your health, productivity and performance.

Here to discuss this is Joseph Allen, Director of the Healthy Buildings program and an Assistant Professor at Harvard’s T. H. Chan School of Public Health and author of the book Healthy Buildings: How Indoor Spaces Drive Performance and Productivity (https://amzn.to/30SX3b4) When you have a million things to do, what do you do first?
