The built environment plays a vital role in supporting the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of its occupants. This session explores how project teams are applying the guiding principles of PHILGBC’s Health and Well-being for Buildings (H+W) tool throughout the planning and implementation of their building projects.
Grounded in five core categories—Health, Comfort, Lifestyle, Social, and Environment—the H+W framework promotes design and operational strategies that prioritize occupant well-being, safety, and overall quality of life. By focusing on human-centered outcomes, project teams are integrating features that enhance environmental quality, encourage movement and interaction, and foster inclusive, resilient spaces.
The session will highlight practical approaches and case examples that demonstrate how these principles are being embedded across various building types, resulting in environments that are not only sustainable but also nurturing and responsive to the diverse needs of users.
