As part of the Mohawk Group CEU series and the manufacturer’s upcoming DesignFWD virtual summit, senior sustainability manager Rami Vagal will be hosting and presenting “Integrating Health and Wellbeing into the Foundation of the Built Environment.”

This accredited course discusses the built environment and its impact on human health and wellbeing. With the increased awareness and rapidly growing focus on health and wellness, there is data and research that proves the impact that buildings can have on human health. It is also important to understand the true meaning of overall wellbeing. Using the WELL Building Standard as the main catalyst, this course examines the number of ways buildings have an impact on occupant wellbeing through design, quality of space and products, as well as the benefits and the types of effects it creates. 

The CEU also addresses the 10 new concepts of WELL v2 and how those patterns are incorporated into products and architectural design. Additionally, the course focuses on understanding how green building and healthy building complement each other and are important to realize the true benefits of holistic sustainability.
