    Professional school facilities management is a tough job, especially when education budgets are tight.

    Lessons from the first U.S. school districts with real-time indoor environmental quality (IEQ) sensors in classrooms: benefits, barriers and opportunities

    New research from Boston University reveals challenges faced by school districts that were early adopters of collecting real-time indoor environmental quality (IEQ) data in classrooms. With aging buildings, rising temperatures, and limited budgets, school districts in the United States need effective strategies to address classroom environmental issues, secure funding for upgrades, and develop climate resilience plans. Collecting real-time indoor environmental quality (IEQ) data in classrooms can support these goals, yet few districts have adopted comprehensive school environmental monitoring, and little is known about the barriers and facilitators to its use. Understanding the value of this approach to ensure good environmental conditions inside schools, the challenges faced by early adopters, and strategies to overcome them will be essential for broader implementation.  Tune in as we speak with the authors of this new paper, M Pilar Botana Martinez, PhD, and M Patricia Fabian, ScD.

    What Brands get Catastrophically Wrong when they talk about Sustainability

    In a world where companies are being fined, investigated, and publicly shamed for sustainability claims that don't hold up to scrutiny, Helen Neal is the person behind the scenes helping household names get it right. Helen built an AI platform to stop brands from accidentally greenwashing themselves before they hit publish. Zena is an AI pre-publication governance platform that checks sustainability content against five regulatory frameworks — Green Claims Code, EU Green Claims Directive, CSRD, ASA guidelines, and more — before it goes public. It was built because her clients kept asking the same question: is this claim safe to make? Helen is the founder of HN Communications, a B Corp-certified sustainability communications consultancy whose clients include Bosch, Heineken, Asahi, Nissan, and Aston Martin. She came up through the UK Parliament and government affairs roles at Virgin Atlantic and Nissan before founding her own agency in 2017. She knows the regulatory landscape from the inside.
