Programme Highlight

Built environment, health and wellbeing are the key issues for people. The recent Covid-19 outbreak has further sharpened this focus and brought immerse attention to the buildings which can prevent/reduce potential health risks. 

This webinar will discuss the critical role of built environment and the approaches to re-design and realise the new ‘normal’ buildings. In this webinar, Ir Dr Tony Lam, will talk about how big data can be used for a health audit for our buildings – a digital platform: Neuron Health can provide a detailed real-time picture of how a building or facility is operating, and what kind of experience its occupants are having.

Fee

Free of Charge.
