Because of Covid-19, developers are realizing that incorporating health concerns in a building's design isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

 

WIRED magazine explores building design practices that incorporate health and wellness factors.  They predict that the healthy building surge will outlast the pandemic.

Some of the takeaways from WIRED:

  • The Covid-19 pandemic has sparked a surge of interest in the role that indoor environments play in our health. 
  • Since the pandemic, the International WELL Building Institute has been registering more than a million square feet of real estate a day in its certification program, putting buildings on the path to wellness.
  • Architecture firm, HOK, has started specifying lighting that automatically changes color temperature throughout the day, mimicking the light of the sun.
