The aim of the workshop is to explore different developmental pathways to foster healthy indoor environments in a sustainable way. These pathways will represent different perspectives depending on specific geographic and cultural settings. They will contain a continuum from defining and understanding specific challenges to the implementation of solutions, but also reflect a view on human nature. Special focus will be placed on the challenges of adapting to current and future environmental change and how the building can play a role in creating a more sustainable society.

Two examples will be presented and discussed throughout the workshop:

·       Low tech solutions for promotion of healthier indoor environments in a traditional society of the global South, and

·       Use of internet, augment reality and gamification strategies to promote a healthy indoor climate and energy efficiency in a high-tech post-industrial society.

This will be followed by an introduction to a framework that aims to map different perspectives on indoor health. Activities are divided into a presentation from each perspective, and conclude with a co-creative discussion with all participants and audience.
