Many of us will spend 90% of our time indoors, at work, at home and for leisure. But how healthy are the buildings in which we live, work, and spend time?

The Healthy Buildings Network aims to reimagine indoor spaces to improve the physical, mental, and social well-being of their occupants through sustainable design, quality indoor air, thermal comfort, and accessibility, while aligning with net-zero emissions goals. The network will bring together researchers from all disciplines with professionals from across multiple sectors.

Through this interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral approach, we aim to connect research with public health, environment, sociology, engineering to address issues around built indoor spaces – from schools and hospitals to workplaces and homes. The Healthy Buildings Network is open to researchers and research professionals across higher education, as well as those with a personal or professional interest in improving health and wellbeing through the built environment.

The Horizons Institute Healthy Buildings Network is co-directed by Marco-Felipe King (School of Civil Engineering) and Martín López-García (School of Mathematics) and Irene Mussio (Leeds University Business School)
