Build Health is the annual event of the University of Oregon’s Institute for Health in the Built Environment Industry Consortium that brings together stakeholders in industry, government and academia to dramatically reduce energy consumption and improve human health by advancing innovation through interdisciplinary collaboration. This annual event provides intellectual space for a diversity of disciplines that play integral roles in transforming the design, construction and operation of built environments. Collaboration between industry and academia occurs across the disciplines of architecture, biology, medicine, chemistry, engineering, and urban design and creates a research agenda that accelerates the impact of our scientific and design discoveries.
