Discussion Points
Discussion Points
- How can (often scientific) information on material health be presented in a way that more is accessible and compelling?
- Are different types of stakeholders likely to be interested or motivated by different aspects of material-health? If so, how might drivers differ for a design, contractor, client, or developer?
- If all stakeholders seem to be motivated by demonstrating measurable estimates of impact, how can we start to quantify or at least qualify these impacts?
- Are there different types of health impacts or related variables we might be able to measure?
- How can we demonstrate/communicate that each body of stakeholders can personally benefit from these objectives?
