Does healthy construction materials make a difference, and is it realistic to think we can keep track of them? Since we spend 80-90 % of our time indoor, i.e. in rather close vicinity of those construction materials, this is something worth considering. In addition, when the industry moves to more reuse of construction materials, the health aspects and tracking of that material becomes even more important. What was considered healthy at the time of construction might not be considered healthy 20 years later. SundaHus has been focusing on this since 2003 in over 5.000 real world construction projects and Jan will share some of the insights gathered during the journey from a controversial idea to standard practice
