LEED for Homes Illinois: Advancing Healthy, Green Housing Across the Midwest
LEED for Homes Illinois champions sustainable, health-conscious residential building throughout the Midwest. A centerpiece of this work is the Asthma and Housing Symposium, an educational gathering that examines how green, healthy homes connect to respiratory wellness.
About the Asthma and Housing Symposium
Hosted by LEED for Homes Illinois, the Asthma and Housing Symposium is an educational event that explores the relationship between healthy, green housing and asthma. It convenes building professionals, health advocates, and housing stakeholders to discuss how indoor air quality, ventilation, and material selection in homes can help reduce asthma triggers.
Why Healthy Housing Matters
Homes constructed and renovated to green building standards can foster better indoor environmental quality through deliberate design, air sealing, and ventilation strategies. The symposium underscores how these approaches relate to respiratory health and the overall well-being of residents.
Who Should Attend
Builders, remodelers, architects, HVAC professionals, public health practitioners, and anyone interested in the intersection of housing and health will find the symposium relevant to their work.
