You are invited to join us on Tuesday, November 10, 4:30 p.m., when the Illinois ASHRAE will host a free webinar exploring "The Role of Humidity in Healthy IAQ." The presentation and discussion will be led by Dr. Stephanie Taylor, Taylor Healthcare Consulting, Inc. Dr. Taylor received her MD from Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA in 1984. Determined to gain a better understanding of the impact of the built environment on patient well-being, she returned to school and obtained her Master's Degree I Architecture and Engineering from Norwich University in Northfield, VT. For the next several decades, she practiced clinical medicine and did academic research in cellular growth mechanisms.

She is currently working at the intersection of architectural design, indoor air management, the microbiome of the built environment and occupant health. She finds the impact of buildings on our health startling! Managing the built environment and indoor air with the goal of decreasing diseases from acute infections to chronic inflammation to cognitive impairment, is a very underutilized yet powerful approach to disease prevention. She finds that her physician insights and biological research help her understand the science behind the interaction of buildings, human physiology and energy consumption.

An ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Taylor has designed hospitals globally, from the United States to Papua New Guinea to Vietnam. In addition to her Taylor Healthcare Consulting work, she is a member of the Harvard Medical School Incite Health Fellowship.

We hope you will join us. This free webinar will qualify for 1 PDH. Online registration is now open. Your registration will be confirmed right away with a link for entry into the Nov. 10 webinar.
