What are the human factors implications of the buildings we design and construct? How is human health, comfort and productivity impacted by the built environment? What design and construction approaches are shown to impede, or benefit, the human experience? This session will explore these questions.

Winston Churchill said, “we shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” Evidence of the profound impact of our built environment on human health, comfort and productivity continues to mount. This session will explore the environment we humans build, and identify the major human factors this built environment influences. Through examining data contained in various studies, we can correlate building design features and occupant response, and use this information to better our approach to building design, construction and operations.
