The Healthy Building Network

Bringing Environmental Health To Green Building:

The Healthy Building Network prioritizes green building strategies that are closely linked to the goals of the environmental health movement. We bring the perspectives of people directly impacted by the source, production, use and disposal of building materials to green building professionals: architects, planners, designers, specifiers, builders and manufacturers. We identify common interests, advocate careful materials selection as a mutually beneficial means of improving the quality of life all along the material lifecycle, and coordinate coalitions and campaigns to accelerate the transition to healthier building materials.
