Biophilic Design: Creating Healthier, More Resilient Buildings

As the built environment responds to the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and occupant wellbeing, biophilic design is becoming an increasingly important part of creating resilient, sustainable places.

Join CIBSE Scotland for this lunchtime webinar with Adrian Byne, of Benholm Group, who will explore the principles of biophilic design and demonstrate how integrating nature into our buildings can deliver measurable benefits for people, businesses, and the environment.

Drawing on projects across the office, retail, education, and hospitality sectors, Adrian will share practical examples of how the use of plants as a key element of biophilic design can help strengthen our connection with nature, ensuring that the buildings we create do more than function — they positively impact our lives.

The session will also highlight emerging research into quantifying the value of biophilic design within the workplace, examining the benefits for building owners, investors and occupiers through improved user experience, productivity, and long-term asset value.

Whether you are an engineer, architect, sustainability consultant, facilities manager, or anyone with an interest in creating better buildings, this webinar will provide valuable insight into how nature-based design can contribute to healthier, more sustainable and future-ready environments.
