Please join us at the latest Healthy Homes Ireland (HHI) Forum meeting in Dublin on Tuesday, 13th December.

The Irish Green Building Council (IGBC) and Velux are delighted to invite you for the next meeting of Healthy Homes Ireland (HHI) Forum on Tuesday, 13 December 2022 (9.30am to 1pm).

The objective of the HHI Forum is to identify the extent to which current public policy, building industry practice and other factors help or hinder the achievement of healthy homes, to identify those areas that should be prioritised, and to develop a set of policy recommendations. Following discussions at the previous forum meeting in July, the research will now focus on Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) – thermal comfort, indoor air quality, acoustics and daylighting – in existing homes.

At the December’s Forum, we will hear from a specialist in public health medicine and have a panel discussion with experts in IEQ. This will be followed by a brief project update on the findings of the research by CBRE , including gaps identified by the project team in policies and support mechanisms in relation to IEQ in existing homes. The update and panel discussion are designed to inform the workshop discussion that follows. The workshop will provide forum participants with the opportunity to provide input for policy recommendation ideas. 

Please register with [email protected] by Friday 9th December
