Emma and Nadia are both mid 20's young professionals, students who have met for the first time in this podcast. They share their experiences with sick building syndrome. They each lived in new apartment developments in Perth, Western Australia. The recording highlights the fact that 'real humans' do get sick when buildings are not designed with their best interest in mind. It's a key lesson to learn going forward as the energy codes evolve and buildings become more air tight. We can't overlook the importance of ventilation.
Biff Brody discussed Culture and Values as a Real Estate Developer
Culture: the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society.
Values: the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.
When you are asked to offer comment on 'culture' and 'values' on any given day you'll find you can take a number of avenues for a discussion. Let's listen :)
