Buildings 2030, an initiative dedicated to promoting health, wellbeing and productivity in buildings in Europe, released a white paper that describes a “state of the art” for the debate about healthy, comfortable and productive buildings by looking at both policy and market dimensions. They underline that a strong focus on people will contribute to increasing the rate of renovation in Europe and bring concrete benefits to all Europeans. The broad alignment of environmental and health agendas presents an opportunity to not only invest in better performing buildings, but also to improve the quality of life for people using these buildings.
