Workshops
​
The Workshops at Healthy Buildings 2025 offer a dynamic platform for in-depth discussion, hands-on engagement, and collaborative problem-solving across disciplines. These sessions are designed to complement the scientific program with interactive formats that bring together researchers, practitioners, and policy stakeholders.
​
This year’s workshops reflect the broad scope of the Healthy Buildings agenda—from indoor air quality and building performance to community engagement, inclusion, and emerging technologies. Participants will explore practical strategies, share tools and methods, and shape future directions in health-focused building design and operation.
