Bringing science and industry together to advance healthier built environments

ASBP marks the tenth year of its Healthy Buildings Conference in 2026, bringing together leading researchers, practitioners and policy thinkers at Introba’s Holborn offices. The programme focuses on health in the built environment, with contributions spanning air quality, product safety, biobased finishes and emerging evidence from national research programmes.

Professor Stephen Holgate will deliver the keynote, drawing on decades of clinical and scientific work on air pollution. Further sessions explore PFAS and POPs in construction products, insights from WELL Building projects, new indoor air quality research at the University of York, and the health benefits of natural paints.

Speakers include representatives from Henning Larsen, Overbury, Introba, the University of York, the Environment Agency and Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, with a closing panel chaired by Simon Jones, host of the Air Quality Matters podcast.

The conference closes with drinks and networking overlooking London, alongside short talks from UKRI, the University of Leeds and Futurebuild.

Registration and further details are available via the ASBP website.
