This groundbreaking book delves into the realm of quantifying stress, health, performance, and well-being outcomes in diverse built environments through innovative measurement methods. By harnessing subjective and objective data, design interventions can be shaped to enhance these outcomes, leveraging cutting-edge integrated building materials. Employers and managers can utilize these measures to calculate the return on investment (ROI) of various design interventions, leading to healthier, more productive, and performative spaces.
The book is organized into three parts, encompassing fundamental principles, measurement techniques, and applications. Part 1 explores human, environment, and material measures for health and well-being, while Part 2 delves into measurement methods and tools. Part 3 presents case studies and future directions, highlighting emerging technologies such as virtual reality immersive environments and fisheye lens photograph simulations for assessing human wellbeing impacts.
The field of health and the built environment has witnessed a rapid surge of technical innovation and entrepreneurship driven by interdisciplinary research teams. This book fills a crucial gap by discussing the latest tools and methods for measuring the effects of the built environment on human physiology and psychology. Emerging technologies, including bio-responsive material systems and integrated sensing devices with wearable technologies linked to the Internet of Things, are explored in relation to improving human wellbeing performance.
By providing a comprehensive foundation of knowledge and fundamentals, this book empowers professionals to characterize human health and well-being in the built environment. It serves as a valuable resource for architects, designers, policymakers, and stakeholders seeking to create environments that promote health, productivity, and performance. The future of built environment design lies in integrating these innovative measures and technologies to create spaces that truly enhance the lives of individuals and communities.
