Wellbeing and biophilic design

Wellbeing and biophilic design are buzzwords, but what do they really mean? Well, they are ways for businesses to be more productive and profitable by looking after the health and wellbeing of people.

Biophilic design is not just a trendy way of decorating your building with plants. It is about making spaces that stimulate the senses in such a way as to reduce stress and discomfort.

Indoor air quality

I am a RESET Accredited Professional. I can advise on IAQ monitoring, data and solutions (especially relating to the use of green walls and planting).

IAQ monitoring is also a useful tool for employee empowerment (for office-based and home-based staff). Having visibility of real-time, reliable and independently-verified data empowers employees to challenge building managers to ensure a healthy working environment. Companies also have a very visible way of demonstrating to employees, customers, guests, etc. that they take IAQ seriously and are managing it.

RESET also aligns with several wellbeing and environmental standards.
