Is Your Home Draining Your Energy? The Science of Biophilic Design: Eco Architect Explains
from The Energy Equation
Designer and environmental wellbeing expert Oliver Heath explores the principles of biophilic design, bringing nature back into our homes, workplaces, and cities to support calmer, healthier living. He breaks down how natural light, plants, materials, airflow, and thoughtful spatial design can reduce stress, boost focus, and restore a sense of balance in a world that often disconnects us from nature.Oli also dives into the impact of our surroundings on energy and mood, reflecting on how overlooked design choices can shape our wellbeing as much as sleep or nutrition. Together, they offer simple, accessible ways to improve any space, from moving a desk closer to a window to improving air quality or adding natural textures, showing that even small shifts can make a meaningful difference.Blending evidence-based insight with practical, budget-friendly advice, Oliver empowers listeners to rethink their environment and create spaces that support restoration, productivity, and everyday wellbeing.Simba 👉Oli believes better energy starts with better sleep.
