Next, we will discover new sustainable materials and the latest technologies on the horizon that can positively impact both the environment and wellness of those who live and work in commercial spaces. Lastly, we will touch on the importance of color in sustainable architecture and design. We will learn how color can aid in safety and wellness, as well as their proven health benefits in one’s physiological and psychological responses.
