However, it is crucial to ensure that improving energy efficiency does not negatively impact the health, well-being, and comfort of building occupants. Numerous energy-neutral features can be incorporated at minimal or zero cost, resulting in positive effects on well-being. This book aims to provide an overview and exploration of these aspects of building design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe concept of health and well-being has already been incorporated into design advice for workplaces, where productivity and absenteeism are commonly used as indicators. This book, however, focuses specifically on residential buildings, particularly mass housing and affordable strategies, for which new, more socially and health-oriented indicators are being developed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book offers practical design guidance based on scientific evidence, encompassing both physical and psychological well-being. It emphasizes the importance of the home and immediate domestic environment and is structured in a user-friendly manner for architects and designers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy addressing the urgent need for energy transformation while prioritizing occupant health and well-being, this book contributes to the development of more sustainable and inclusive housing solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1054g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254 x 216 x 21 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781859467138\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick Baker,Koen Steemers","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102144852218,"sku":"9781859467138","price":38.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/28e7c7ca897ac3bf1f37d598100ec7b9.jpg?v=1624929602","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/healthy-homes-designing-with-light-and-air-for-sustainability-and-wellbeing","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
