Adele Houghton, FAIA, DrPH, LEED AP, is President of Biositu, LLC, where she works at the intersection of buildings, public health, and climate change. She is a member of the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows and received a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degree from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where she also teaches. Her book Architectural Epidemiology (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2025), co-authored with Professor Carlos Castillo-Salgado of Johns Hopkins University, proposes a novel method for architectural design: combining neighborhood-scale environmental health data with participatory community engagement to maximize a building’s positive ripple effect on community and planetary health. Adele supported USGBC’s development of the LEED v5 Human Impact Assessment prerequisite, including creating a data dashboard that streamlines access to neighborhood-scale data and helps project teams apply a social determinants of health approach to the design process.
