Events – Re-Opening Schools and Beyond Safely Webinars (3/23, 4/21, 4/22)
Politicians may be announcing re-opening of this or that, but are those venues safe? Successful re-opening of indoor public gathering spaces requires more than hollow pronouncements. Schools, restaurants, offices, and other public gathering spaces should formulate re-opening plans that gain confidence and trust from its stakeholders as shown in the diagram for school re-openings.
Build Equinox is pleased to announce two opportunities to learn about steps for safely re-opening schools and other public gathering indoor spaces. We hope you will join us!

Dr Stephanie Taylor is both an architect and medical doctor, and she has a unique perspective on human value and healthy indoor environments. A mere $1600 of additional utility cost to improve indoor air quality returns $210,000 of increased human productivity and a reduction of $45,000 in payroll expense due to illness.

Featured Article – Covid Safe Space Calculator
Covid Safe Spaces are also healthy indoor spaces that increase air quality satisfaction, decrease sickdays, and improve cognition and productivity. The Covid Safe Space IAQ calculator determines the value of these important indoor environment factors. Are improvements to the indoor environment worth the cost? Yes, because humans are valuable!
You don’t have to take our word for it because the CSS IAQ calculator also estimates energy usage and utility cost for improving indoor environments in any climate.
