The Pursuit of Healthy Spaces: Optimizing EQ For LEED v4.1
Elixir Environmental works with building product manufacturers to develop transparency documentation for material ingredient reporting, including Health Product Declarations (HPD). HPDs help contribute points under LEED v4. Product declarations offer your customers an unsurpassed level of transparency, can validate claims of your product's contents, and increase the chances of your building product getting specified.
In this course, we review the intent and applications for prerequisites and credits for the LEED v4.1 BD+C EQ category. We discover strategies to designing healthier spaces by improving indoor environmental quality for occupants. We discuss how indoor environmental quality can improve human health and well-being, worker productivity, and occupant comfort.
