Indoor Environments & Green Buildings

ELI’s Indoor Environments & Green Buildings Program advances policies and programs that make buildings healthier and more sustainable places to live, learn, and work. We provide a variety of materials – from in-depth research reports to policy briefs on emerging issues and compilations of state laws and regulations – that build on advances in public health science and building science.
