This webinar will explore how specialist design in acoustics, lighting, and indoor air quality can play a vital role in enhancing wellbeing while also presenting opportunities to reduce whole life carbon.

Thoughtfully designed acoustic environments reduce stress and improve concentration. Similarly, optimised lighting can boost mood, support circadian rhythms, and reduce energy consumption. Meanwhile, maintaining high indoor air quality not only promotes occupant health, but also contributes to long-term sustainability. As part of this webinar we will provide case studies of how specialist design strategies create spaces that are both environmentally responsible and deeply supportive of human health and comfort.
