Despite policy directives, standards and guidelines, indoor
environmental quality is still poor in many cases. The Healthy
Indoor Environment, winner of the 2016 IDEC Book Award, aims to
help architects, building engineers and anyone concerned with the
wellbeing of building occupants to better understand the effects of
spending time in buildings on health and comfort. In three clear
parts dedicated to mechanisms, assessment and analysis, the book
looks at different indoor stressors and their effects on wellbeing
in a variety of scenarios with a range of tools and methods. The
book supports a more holistic way of evaluating indoor environments
and argues that a clear understanding of how the human body and
mind receive, perceive and respond to indoor conditions is needed.
At the national, European and worldwide level, it is acknowledged
that a healthy and comfortable indoor environment is important both
for the quality of life, now and in the future, and for the
creation of truly sustainable buildings. Moreover, current methods
of risk assessment are no longer adequate: a different view on
indoor environment is required. Highly illustrated and full of
practical examples, the book makes recommendations for future
procedures for investigating indoor environmental quality based on
an interdisciplinary understanding of the mechanisms of responses
to stressors. It forms the basis for the development of an
integrated approach towards assessment of indoor environmental
quality.
