Acoustics, Lighting & Ventilation and their effects on Well Being – Elementa’s Pete Hender joins HCN as event speaker

Next month sees the return of the Healthcare Construction Network breakfast event. For April’s function, Elementa’s Pete Hender will be joining the expert panel as a speaker, leading discussions on acoustics, lighting and ventilation and their effects on well-being within the healthcare sector. The event, which is taking place in London at the RICS Building on the 13th April, is part of the Alliance of Construction Networks, a multidiscipline networking organisation where members interact with peers in key sectors.

Pete is leader of Elementa’s Oxford office and is speaking on a panel of 3, joined by Ellen Harrison from WSP and Andrew Bissell of Cundall. With all three having complimentary experience within the healthcare sector, the discussions are set to centre around how good acoustic, lighting and ventilation design:

  • Improves patient dignity
  • Promotes essential sleep patterns
  • Reduces intake of pain medication
  • Improves communication
  • Lowers stress levels
  • Aids recovery
