As our final guest of 2025, HPAC On The Air welcomes Dr. Stephanie Taylor, M.D., a medical doctor, architect, and renowned expert on the science and systems behind indoor air quality.
Her mission for the last decade has been to break down the barriers separating those professional silos. Now an internationally sought-after, ASHRAE distinguished lecturer, Dr. Taylor is also the author of HPAC Engineering's current cover story, "A New Hope for Building Occupant Health."
Here, she expounds on that hope for the holidays, and explains why this is such a consequential moment for using the lessons of the pandemic to improve the health and habitability of ALL of our buildings, from hospitals and schools to offices, homes, and more.
