Coating Innovations and the Healthy Building Movement
Learn how advanced coatings can be leveraged for the design & construction of healthier buildings.
Description:
Fueled by demand for spaces that contribute to occupant well-being, owners are looking to design and construct healthier buildings.
Advanced coatings can help address common concerns prevalent in commercial space. Transparency is critical to selecting products that perform as claimed, so you'll learn how to find coatings that are third-party certified. Finally, you will learn strategies for incorporating natural elements with biophilic design theory. This is especially beneficial in urban areas with minimal exposure to green space.
