Join Urban Green Council and the New York Academy of Sciences for a special NYC briefing and reception as scientists from Harvard University and SUNY Upstate New York Medical Center discuss Study 2 of the groundbreaking COGfx research: Buildingomics. This exciting
research builds on separate research released last year that found a 101% improvement in cognitive test scores for people that worked in optimized indoor environmental quality conditions often found in green buildings. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
Now, the research scientists go a step further with Buildingomics—a new approach that examines the totality of factors in the building-related environment that influence the human health, well-being and productivity of people who work in buildings. </p>

worked in certified green buildings through new research covering more than 100 workers in 10 office buildings across the U.S. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
This suggests an even greater benefit—and return on investment—to pursuing green building certification than originally thought.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
Better buildings that result in better thinking and health can help enhance employees’ performance and well-being, serve as recruiting tools for business HR managers, and provide a differentiator, perhaps even a competitive advantage, for building owners.</p>
