Continuing Education Units for Professionals

Increasing documentation demonstrates that biophilic elements such as live plants in buildings have measurable benefits to productivity, emotional wellbeing, stress reduction, and improved learning and healing.
The inclusion of biophilic design elements into building standards (the WELL Building Standard, Fitwel, the Living Building Challenge, LEED) is creating an even greater need for biophilic design information.
If you’re a member of the AIA, IDCEC, ASID, BOMI, ASLA, USGBS or SHRM, and looking for CEUs, we currently offer two one hour programs that count as HSW units as well as providing practical information about how to specify indoor nature in our built environments.

To book a CEU Presentation, please contact Genevieve Mills at Geneviever@oaklandnursery.com

 

The Economics of Biophilic Design

This program examines the economic argument in favor of biophilic design using case studies from five sectors; workplaces, healthcare, education, retail, and built communities. Research from neuroscience and endocrinology show the crucial role that experiencing nature has for our physiological wellbeing.
