Tom Woolley’s presentation, “Unblocking the barriers to the use of bio-based and healthy materials in retrofitting and new building” seemed to strike a chord with more than 250 of you who registered to attend this free Twilight Talks session. It signifies an important discussion as we design and build more thoughtfully for occupants and the environment.
