Why Now?

New environmental, social and technological challenges are redefining health and safety requirements in the built environment.

Continuous protection of people is no longer optional – it has become essential.

Rapid Urbanisation

More people are living in confined spaces for longer than ever before.

Indoor Air Quality
Pollutants, particles and biological agents affect the day-to-day health of millions of people.

Climate Change
Heatwaves, wildfires and extreme weather events call for more resilient and better-prepared buildings.

Infrastructure Resilience
Safety and security must be integrated as a structural part of the built environment.

Public Health and Wellbeing
Prevention, ongoing protection and healthier environments reduce costs and save lives.

New Regulatory Requirements
Standards and certifications are evolving to prioritise the ongoing protection of people.

New Environmental Threats
Biological agents and ultrafine particles pose a challenge to conventional solutions.

Infrastructure has evolved over the centuries to transport people, energy and information.

Perhaps the time has come for it to evolve to protect people as well.
