Evaluating Indoor Climate Interventions: Balancing Sustainability and Health Outcomes

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Over the past 20 years, we have moved from low energy buildings to sustainable buildings. With this shift, life cycle energy and emissions analysis (LCA) has taken precedence. To design buildings that are sustainable, an analysis of the resources that go into constructing and operating building needs to be complemented with an analysis of how buildings impact our life. In this work, we propose elements of building design can be optimised for occupant health and the consequent environmental impact of these benefits can be incorporated into the LCA.
