International Conference:
Achieving Healthy and Creative Facilities
Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh UK

Dear List Members,

We would like to invite you to the CIB W70 Facilities Management
Conference, to be held at Heriot Watt University in Scotland from the
16th to the 18th June 2008.

The theme of this conference is Achieving Healthy and Creative Environments.

Design and management decisions affect building users in a profound
way, particularly user's health and creativity. Research in facilities
management, workplace psychology, building intelligence and other
related disciplines provide vital insights into our understanding of
what it means to have a 'healthy and creative' environment. This
conference will bring together academics and practitioners from around
the world to consider our state of knowledge on this subject.

The following key themes are covered in the conference. Papers in
related areas are welcome.

Key themes are:

·     Theme 1. Enabling creative and innovative environments
·     Theme 2. Achieving healthy environments through FM
·     Theme 3. Leveraging building intelligence to support productive
  environments

 environments
·     Theme 5. Exploring environment-behaviour as an FM tool
