A significant change in the document is the focus on performance outcomes. The revised document summarises existing health-based guidance and regulations and proposes recommended levels for each key environmental parameter.<\/p>\n<p>These may then be used as targets in new buildings, fit-outs, and refurbishments, or as benchmarks in existing buildings to define priorities and improvement programmes.<\/p>\n<p>This technical memorandum suggests that a useful approach to designing for health and wellbeing is to develop a design strategy for the people in a space and not for space itself, which may result in a scheme meeting the desired environmental conditions only in the occupied space (rather than in the whole volume).<\/p>\n<p>CIBSE TM40 acknowledges that health and wellbeing is an evolving subject and that there is still much debate, research, and development in numerous areas. To ensure professionals are aware of the current limits of knowledge, the document has collated these as emerging themes in each chapter of the TM.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CIBSE has updated its Technical Memorandum 40: Health and wellbeing in building services, the new version reflects significant changes in the environmental conditions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[13038,594,676,279,432,586,934],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-72820","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-building","8":"tag-building-design","9":"tag-construction","10":"tag-environment","11":"tag-health-safety","12":"tag-insulation","13":"tag-wellbeing"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CIBSE publishes new health and wellbeing guidance<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"CIBSE has updated its TM40: Health and wellbeing in building services, the new version reflects significant changes in the environmental conditions\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/health-and-wellbeing-guidance\/72820\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CIBSE publishes new health and wellbeing guidance\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"CIBSE has updated its TM40: Health and wellbeing in building services, the new version reflects significant changes in the environmental conditions\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/health-and-wellbeing-guidance\/72820\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
