Paulson, Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, George Washington University, MD, FAAP, the first of three speakers, gave a talk centered on the effects of the built environment on children and the importance of incorporating the Well Building Standard features (especially air and water) into facilities geared towards children. 

    2016-well-Children-700x525_0Next, Chris Ashworth, VP and Regional Manager, Healthy Buildings, LEED AP BD+C followed with a discussion about the challenges of ensuring that building occupants have access to safe, high quality water, especially in light of the deteriorating condition of water infrastructure throughout the country.
