T
he May cover story
in Healthy Indoors
Magazine features
Ellen Tohn, who was
a keynote presenter
at the recent IAQ & Energy 2018
Conference in Portland, ME.
HI's Bob Krell had an opportuni-
ty to sit down with her after that
presentation to discuss this topic.
We know that efficiency ef-
forts reduce energy use, lower
energy bills, and can reduce air
pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions. Research now tells
us that residents can also expe-
rience health benefits, with fewer
asthma and respiratory issues,
and improved general physical
and mental health. The benefits
are greatest among lower income
households, who also experience
greater health risks. The time is
right for a greater investment in
energy efficiency, leveraging that
workforce to improve health.
Ellen Tohn is a Principal at
Tohn Environmental Strategies
and Assistant Professor of Prac-
tice at Brown School of Public
Health.
