Event Details

With the capital on “red alert” following Beijing’s most recent “airpocalypse” last week, the need to create safer indoor environments is critical more than ever. Given that the toxic air in China contributes to some 1.6 million deaths per year, efforts must be focused on reducing PM2.5 levels indoors, where most of spend our time at work. AmCham China Real Estate Forum invites you to a panel discussion on how to improve indoor air quality in the China office market with an emphasis on creating safe workspaces. Good air quality is also correlated with boosting productivity and staff retention for employers, and increasing tenancy for landlords.

Eric Hirsch of JLL will lead a group of experts featuring Louie Cheng of PureLiving China, who will share his company and JLL’s latest findings on the best approaches for PM2.5-reduction indoors to ensure the creation of healthy workspaces.
