Let's create Happy Buildings

A healthy building with a happy you.

Happy Buildings are high performant buildings where the inhabitant's physical and mental wellness is nourished. A stronger and more resilient person living in the buildings means a happier one.

Creating Happy Buildings Program connects academic research, innovative technologies, and ESGs to deliver truly unique and original buildings that drive and improve the health & happiness of the tenant.

Biospheric Air Treatment is the first technology that is being used in Creating Happy Buildings Consortium's first research, Human Value Program.
