Healthy Buildings Challenge
With Greentown Labs and Saint-Gobain, supported by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.
Rethinking How We Build
Buildings account for almost half of the country’s energy usage. Nearly half of office building occupants describe themselves as uncomfortable with temperature. People spend an average of 90 percent of their time indoors.
The Healthy Buildings Challenge brought together five companies developing solutions to improve building health, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort.
