Big milestone for an impactful tool that connects climate and public health. It's great to see how far this has come and encourage people to play around, even with hypothetical data.
NEW TOOL: For first time, our CoBE tool is available to the public. You can use it to *quantify* the climate and health co-benefits of your energy conservation measures in buildings.
Peer-reviewed paper, FAQs, case study, and the tool here: https://t.co/y4wo5TZhgX
With energy costs up nearly 16% over last year due to inflation, businesses are looking at ways to save money, and they may have found it with smart glass. Now, “smart windows” are allowing buildings to use less electricity for heating and cooling.
How does the built environment affect occupant health, wellbeing and productivity? Find out on this week’s episode of The PropTech Ramble with @p_macnaughton, Vice President of Health Strategy at @view_inc_ 👉 https://t.co/GMZorVK5g5
(1/4) We are very excited to announce the publication of 2021: Our Air in Review.
A core part of our mission is to spread awareness and increase knowledge of air quality – an incredibly important topic that affects every single one of us, every single day of our lives.
@curious_founder The range hood (venting outdoors) should be quite good at reducing NOx concentrations. The question is do people use them and in the study it appears they didn't.

Brighter days make for better night. New research from @IcahnMountSinai shared at @Greenbuild shows that we sleep 16 minutes longer when we get more daylight access during the day.
Very excited to see the results from 3rd #COGfxstudy come out!
Great work by @cedenolaurent, @anna_s_young, @emgilsonjones, @j_g_allen et al.
Better filtration, better ventilation aren't just good COVID solutions, but have cognitive benefits even in buildings considered good.
The benefits of better ventilation and filtration extend beyond COVID-19.
Our latest study on cognitive function is out:
⬇️CO2 (ie good ventilation) and⬇️*indoor* PM2.5
-->⬆️cognitive function scores

Our multi country study on indoor air and cognitive function is finally out.
Big takeaway: increases in PM2.5 and CO2 concentrations were sig. associated with acute reductions in cognitive function.
Here’s how we (@j_g_allen @anna_s_young @p_macnaughton et al) did it:
Newest paper from the #cogfx study by @anna_s_young. Chemical exposure in offices driven by:
1) local regulations
2) what building you work in
3) what personal care products you use
Congrats to @view_inc_ on becoming a publicly traded company today. Been a pleasure to get to know and work with the leadership team. (Including that guy I recognize just a little bit on the big screen in Times Square! Nice work @p_macnaughton!)
