DESCRIPTION:By combining expertise from research and practice\, this Smart
  Living Lunch lecture by Prof. Dusan Licina (HOBEL\, EPFL) on 20 October 2
 021 from 11:00 to 12:00 online wishes to primarily serve as a stepping sto
 ne for the future research and development of green building certification
  systems\, so as to better recognize appropriate weighting and trade-offs 
 that can negotiate requirements of human health\, experience and environme
 ntal performance. Zoom link on demand.\n\nAlthough attention to indoor env
 ironmental quality (IEQ) and human health has for long been on the agenda 
 of the green building industry\, new emphasis has recently been placed on 
 building features that can explicitly promote the experience of occupants.
  Despite this emerging shift in priorities\, evidence of the performance o
 f green-certified buildings from the perspective of occupants remains rath
 er inconsistent\, with numerous questions on how to effectively design\, a
 ssess and promote “healthy buildings”.\n\nPlacing a specific focus on 
 the key IEQ categories of indoor air quality\, thermal comfort\, lighting 
 and acoustics\, this lecture aims to: consolidate emerging knowledge relat
 ed to IEQ and health\; highlight research and practical challenges that ma
 y still impede the performance of green-rated buildings\; set the foundati
 ons for researchers and green rating system developers to capture immediat
 e and long-term opportunities\; and\, propose a new framework of thinking 
 and acting about green-certified buildings.\n\nDeparting from current appr
 oaches\, the envisioned future of green buildings will need to be based on
  a thorough knowledge of the building and its users\, their inter- and int
 ra-individual variability\, their spatio-temporal localization\, their act
 ivities\, their history of exposures\, together with a capacity of anticip
 ation of the likelihood of future events.\n\n© Human-Oriented Built Envir
