Abstract The Workshop titled “Promoting Public Health with healthy smart buildings” - proposed and developed by the three EUPHA Section: Urban Public Health (URB), Public Mental Health (MEN) and Environmental Health (ENV) - is aimed to foster the dialogue between designers (architects and urban planners), Public Health experts (operators, professionals and epidemiologists), policy/decision makers and buildings’ users, to establish a multidisciplinary approach for understanding together how to create and manage healthy living indoor environments (both housing and complex constructions/public buildings). According to the main Conference topic “Sailing the waves of European public health: exploring a sea of innovation”, the workshop mainly addresses both the “Climate emergency/Environment and health/Urban health” and the “Mental health” EPH24 conference topics. The workshop purpose is to explore the effects of the housing conditions, according to “umbrella” exposure of the quality of the buildings, stressing topics like emissions, qualities, functional features, accessibility, supportive, Indoor Environmental Quality, Indoor Air Quality, and health implications on users’ well-being. In fact, time spent at home and in the indoor environment increased due to the COVID-19 experience, and social-sanitary emergencies are expected to grow due to the urbanization phenomenon. Thus, the role of the physical environment in which we live, study, and work, has become of crucial importance, as the literature has recently highlighted. The workshop program includes inputs which they argue current experiences, emerging practices and scientific outcomes related to the healthy Buildings, coming from four different European countries. From Sustainable Development Goals, in “Healthy air for healthy minds”, to Indoor Environmental Quality implications, in “How to promote health in indoor living and working spaces: quali-quantitative analysis to evaluate the indoor air quality through users’ perception and low-cost sensors”. From experience-based works related to specific functions, in “Leveraging digital platforms to improve Public Health in hospital smart buildings”, to other specific public buildings’ experiences, in “Novi Sad cultural stations as healthy buildings for wellbeing concept”. Key messages • explore the relationship between housing conditions, Indoor Environmental Quality, and the implications on users’ well-being, like “umbrella” exposure of the quality of the buildings. • establish a multidisciplinary approach for understanding together how to create and manage healthy living indoor environments, at private and public scale.
