COVID-19 Virtual Town Hall: Healthy Buildings and the Effect on Public Health During the Pandemic
On Aug. 25, 2020, the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) held its fourth in a series of COVID-19 virtual town halls, sponsored by Dell Technologies and brought to you by the NIBS Consultative Council. The town hall — which was moderated by Vicki Worden, president and CEO of the Green Building Initiative (GBI) — received more than 855 registrants from across the building industry; universities; officials representing federal, local, and state governments; and more.
During this town hall, panelists stressed that healthy buildings and resilience are intertwined. More than ever, as COVID-19 changes the way business is conducted, health and resilience are more important than ever before.
