Healthy Buildings
How Indoor Spaces Can Make You Sick―or Keep You Well
A revised and updated edition of the landmark work the New York Times lauded as “a call to action for every developer, building owner, shareholder, chief executive, manager, teacher, worker and parent to start demanding healthy buildings with cleaner indoor air.”
The world was brought to a standstill by a virus that spreads almost exclusively indoors, revealing a simple but long-ignored truth: your building can make you sick–or keep you well. Updated with the latest research conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, the new edition of Healthy Buildings provides evidence-based strategies for making buildings the first line of defense against airborne disease.
Joe Allen and John Macomber dispel the myth that we have to choose between energy-efficient buildings and good indoor air quality. We can—and must—have both. At the center of the great convergence of the green, smart, and safe building movements, healthy buildings are key to business success and vital to the push for more sustainable urbanization that will shape our future.

This book should be essential reading for all who commission, design, manage, and use buildings — indeed anyone who is interested in a healthy environment.

If we’ve learned anything from the coronavirus pandemic, it’s that clean indoor air is essential to healthy living. But it’s not just about getting rid of viral particles. Dr. Allen has led research showing that poor indoor air quality dulls your brain, dampening creativity and cognitive function… This book is a call to action […] to start demanding healthy buildings with cleaner indoor air.

Allen and Macomber want to establish national standards, and they make a series of precise and persuasive recommendations for everything from insulation and window shades to water filters and vacuum cleaners.

This exposé of the widespread under-ventilation and pollution inside modern buildings arrived just as shared indoor space became truly deadly. Though there’s now light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel, these insights and guidelines for improving indoor air quality should play a huge role in post-pandemic reforms.

[A] lucid and passionate outline of why now is the time to acknowledge the huge and unrealized potential for buildings to make a positive contribution to the health and performance of their inhabitants, the economy, society and the planet.

[This] detailed, important study is welcomed by architect Norman Foster. But it speaks to everyone.

Healthy Buildings is both hugely important and a great read. By the end it not only completely persuaded me that improving the health of our buildings is a fabulous economic opportunity and something that could change the lives of millions of people—it gave me a very good sense of where to start.
