Information

The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the concept of Whole Living.

We will recognize the dangers that selections and furnishing can present to your home as well as explore and identify the pollutants that contribute to poor indoor air quality (IAQ) during the construction process.

This class will identify construction practices that reduce particulates and increase IAQ, and present real solutions to furnishing a new home.

This workshop is hosted by the nonprofit Green Built Alliance and sponsored by Atelier Maison.

This event is part of Green Built Alliance’s ongoing monthly workshop series through the second half of 2019 that aims at educating and engaging building professionals in regenerative design.
