The purpose of buildings is to separate us from the outside. However, as building technology advanced, buildings in some ways became too good at this job—isolating occupants from nature, daylight, and fresh air.

In response, the building industry has increasingly embraced principles of biophilic design, emphasizing connection to nature, access to light, and improved ventilation. This course explores how thoughtful building design and select fenestration strategies can significantly enhance occupant health and well-being, particularly as defined by the WELL Building Standard.
