Abstract: Built environments and institutional sustainability significantly shape health behaviours. This study describes how Fiocruz Ceará’s bioclimatic campus serves as a living laboratory for the Bem Viver Programme, integrating environmental wellness with innovative education and digital health strategies. We analysed the impact of bioclimatic design, organic waste composting, urban horticulture, and "Whole-Vegetable" nutrition strategies. Furthermore, gamified board games and the efficacy of digital versus traditional communication channels were evaluated. Composting and agroecological fairs successfully improved access to fresh, sustainable foods within the workplace environment. Bioclimatic strategies enhanced occupational comfort and contact with nature, while "Whole-Vegetable" educational materials promoted the use of bioactive compounds for disease prevention. Digital channels demonstrated stronger associations with dietary behaviour change than traditional methods. Finally, integrated models of green spaces and digital navigation in healthcare settings further illustrated the potential to reduce anxiety and address patient vulnerabilities. Conclusions: Institutional sustainability and bioclimatic design function as powerful HEPA promoters. Linking architectural wellness with sustainable food practices and digital engagement fosters resilient workplace communities and supports scalable, patient-centered public health models.
