Indoor residential environments have a direct influence on human
health, both in developed and developing countries. Significant
levels of indoor pollution can make housing unsafe and can
negatively impact on human health. Housing, therefore, is a key
health factor for people all over the world, and various parameters
such as air quality, ventilation, hygrothermal comfort, lighting,
physical environment, building efficiency, and others can
contribute to healthy architecture and the conditions that can
result from the poor application of these parameters. Health and
Well-Being Considerations in the Design of Indoor Environments
addresses issues concerning indoor environmental quality (IEQ),
including air quality and ventilation, access to daylight and
views, acoustic conditions, and control over lighting and thermal
comfort, as well as the impact that this environment can have on
human health and mental well-being. The book also investigates the
functional aspects of interior design such as whether the layout
provides easy access to tools and sufficient space for occupants.
It also considers energy demand and building energy losses due to
such issues as air renovations and enclosure infiltrations.
Covering topics such as sustainable design, pollution, building
materials, and lighting, this book is an effective resource for
students, professors, academicians, researchers, architects,
designers, planners, engineers, interior designers, building
managers, construction companies, and other industry professionals
looking to increase building occupant satisfaction by considering
all aspects of IEQ.
