The time to think differently is now. One person with some wisdom about how (and why) is architect (and public health scholar) Adele Houghton. Check out this great Q&A with Adele and Martin Pedersen in Common Edge:
Houghton: "The co-benefits framework can help the design team and project stakeholders map out the reason each analytic tool is being used, what outcome it's benefiting, and how. From my perspective working in public health, this is a great benefit. It makes it easy for me to show team members how prioritizing a public health endpoint (like reducing outdoor air pollution) connects back to energy modeling, landscape design, and decisions about … operable windows.
