Hosted by Center for Green Schools
Join the Center for Green Schools for a 200-level webinar exploring how to select healthy materials for K-12 school construction projects. Expert presenters from the material health and green school design industry will share research on the environmental and human health risks posed by harmful chemicals found in common school building materials. Learn how design firms are supporting school clients to address these concerns by setting goals that balance health, embodied carbon, and lifecycle considerations. Presenters will address practical steps to material selection while also meeting public bidding requirements, updating material specifications, and tracking and measuring results. From flooring to ceiling tiles, we'll highlight key product areas where healthier alternatives can create safer learning environments for students and staff.
