Abstract:
Healthy buildings are gaining crucial significance in construction and one health setting for promoting occupants’ health. However, the traditional design process for healthy buildings presents limitations with no specific guidelines. In contrast, the integrated design process (IDP) has proven to be effective in realizing high-performance buildings. However, the IDP shortfall of not having robust health strategy (HS) capability is a concern of interest. Thus, we posit further advancement of IDP in the context of incorporating HS in the prevailing IDP guidelines with a sequential iterative procedure. Moreover, a conceptual framework aimed at invigorating the implementation of HS in all IDP stages is proposed. The strategies within IDP that would reinforce achieving healthy building by addressing building process implementation are highlighted. The (IDP + HS) iterative framework herein advanced is intended to aid neophyte and experienced building professionals to reflect about the process of achieving healthy building while optimizing IDP for one’s health invigoration in construction industry.

Abstract:
Our paper aims to examine the healthy building adoption patterns by first asking two critical questions that are relevant to the market conditions: What are healthy buildings? What is their financial value for tenants and owners? We then synthesize the existing academic and industry literature. We find some early evidence of a real estate price premium for specific indoor environment quality (IEQ) and design features. In terms of health-focused building certification systems (BCSs), no empirical and quantitative research has been done on the financial performance of healthy buildings, except for theoretical models. We then proceed to conduct interviews with executives of 15 real estate corporations across the globe to understand the perspectives of real estate owner operators and their strategies for this emerging market. The interviews results confirm that the scarcity of empirical evidence that links healthy building attributes to financial returns inhibits the adoption of healthy buildings in mainstream designs. Moreover, differences in the adoption patterns of healthy buildings are due to the building ownership structure at the firm level, tenants, end-users and building conditions. The strategies of firms in pursuing a healthy building range from risk mitigation to proactive pursuit of new growth opportunities. Private equity funds and real estate investment trust (REIT) firms tend to focus on risk mitigation, while direct real estate investment firms are more likely to carry out the latter to position themselves as a leader within the real estate industry.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Sustainable development is the balance between environmental protection, social equity and economic development to meet the needs of the present generation without affecting the future generation to meet their own needs. Within the built environment, sustainable development concepts include the materials used to build and a maintain building, the energy and water meant to run a building, and the ability to provide a healthy environment for the occupants. Over the last decade, researchers have shown that the built environment plays a significant role on human health. About 20 hours a day is spent indoors regardless of the structure typology. This perspective highlights the domains in which sustainable development through sustainable construction features and characteristics can impact occupants’ health and wellbeing. We aim to outline the relationship between sustainable development and healthy building to inform future practices in the creation of healthy environments. It is evident that buildings can have both negative and positive impacts on occupants’ health. Within the four walls, buildings influence the air we breathe, the water we drink, the quality of light and many other design features that contribute to occupant health. It is significant for the design process and the construction progress to have a fundamental aim that is focused on making buildings healthy for both working and living in. In addition, the collaboration and involvement of all actors (architects, facility managers, contractors, building scientists, researchers and code officials) is critical in the application and implementation of solutions in order to establish guidelines that could be a step forward for the construction of healthy buildings.

Abstract:
40 years of public health research on buildings has identified the indoor environmental drivers of health and productivity. Concurrently, increased environmental awareness spurred the green building movement with the goal of encouraging more sustainable buildings. The question remains as to whether green buildings are also healthy buildings. The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the impact of green buildings on health and cognitive function in both laboratory and real-world settings, and furthermore quantify these impacts in comparison to the potential environmental and economic costs. First, 24 participants spent 6 work days in a controlled office environment. On different days, they were exposed to conditions representative of Conventional (high volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration), Green (low VOC concentration), and Green+ (low VOC concentration and increased ventilation) office buildings. Additional conditions tested artificially elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. On average, cognitive scores were 61% higher on the Green building day and 101% higher on the Green+ building days than on the Conventional building day (p<0.0001). VOCs and CO2 were independently associated with cognitive scores. Second, based on the finding of improved cognitive scores in buildings with enhanced ventilation, the productivity benefits were compared to the environmental and economic costs of doubling ventilation rates. The costs were less than $40 per person per year in all climate zones investigated, while the benefits in terms of productivity exceeded $6,500 per person per year. The environmental impacts could be mitigated through the implementation of energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). Lastly, we conducted building assessments of 10 high-performing buildings (i.e. buildings surpassing the ASHRAE 62.1-2010 ventilation requirement and with low VOC concentrations) in 5 cities around the U.S. while tracking the health and productivity of office workers in those buildings. Even among high-performing buildings, workers in green certified buildings scored 26.4% higher on cognitive function tests than those in non-certified buildings. Sleep Quality scores were 6.4% higher in green certified buildings, suggesting an impact of the building on sleep quality. We show significant benefits to cognitive function and health in green buildings through multiple experimental approaches, driven by factors consistent with the public health literature.

Abstract:
Environmental certification systems has, apart from improving the environment, contributed to buildings with a better indoor air quality. The realization of this has led to the next focus in the built environment, building for occupant health and wellbeing. It is recognized that if buildings are designed with the occupant health and wellbeing at center, it increases employee productivity and reduce absenteeism, which in turn yields economic benefits for a business. This thesis project is set out to investigate how building for occupant health and wellbeing can be done in Swedish office buildings. The project is partly based on the relatively new WELL Building Standard, a tool for certifying, measuring and monitoring the functions of a building in terms of health and wellbeing. The largest part of the project is the analysis, where WELL Building Standard is compared to Swedish legislation as well as the Swedish environmental certification system Miljöbyggnad. A literature study is also included in order to see how the health situation looks like in Sweden, and what aspects are the most important to highlight in the scope of this thesis.  The thesis project is a pilot study of the health and wellbeing in Swedish offices and it shows that Swedish legislation includes a large number of issues set forth in WELL Building Standard. In some cases, Swedish legislation goes quite a bit further than WELL and in some cases Swedish projects can gather inspiration from WELL in order to build even healthier. Miljöbyggnad also fulfills some of the subjects presented in WELL.  As WELL Building Standard is a very extensive system, not all parts of it could be included in the analysis of this project. There are a lot of further research that needs to be conducted before drawing too general conclusions on how Swedish projects perform on the aspects of health and wellbeing. Generally, WELL is a useful system if a project intends to be as healthy as can be, even though the project does not use it to be certified. The system provides the building owners with arguments they can use to communicate how the building may benefit health and wellbeing to the tenants, as WELL puts the human at center rather than the building.
Miljöcertifieringar har, utöver att bidra till en bättre miljö, bidragit till att byggnader fått bättre inomhusklimat. Upptäckten av detta har lett till nästa fokus i den byggda miljön, att bygga hälsosamt för människorna som lever i byggnaden. Det är erkänt att om byggnader är planerade och byggda med människornas hälsa och välmående i fokus så ökar de anställdas produktivitet och frånvaron minskar, vilket i sin tur bidrar med ekonomiska fördelar för företag. Målet med denna masteruppsats är att undersöka hur svenska kontorsbyggnader kan planeras och byggas med hälsa och välmående i fokus. Projektet är delvis baserat på det amerikanska systemet WELL Building Standard, som är relativt ny på den svenska marknaden. Det är ett system för certifiering, mätning och övervakning av en byggnads funktioner inom områdena hälsa och välmående. Den största delen av uppsatsen utgörs av analysen, där WELL jämförs med svensk lagstiftning samt det svenska miljöcertifieringssystemet Miljöbyggnad. En litteraturstudie är också inkluderad för att undersöka hur hälsoläget ser ut i Sverige och vilka aspekter av hälsa och välmående som är viktigast att betona inom omfattningen av detta projekt.   Projektet är en pilotstudie om hälsa och välmående i svenska kontorsbyggnader och den visar att svensk lagstiftning innehåller ett stort antal frågor som presenteras i WELL Building Standard. I några fall så går den svenska lagstiftningen steget längre än kraven i WELL och i vissa fall så finns inspiration att hämta från standarden för svenska projekt som vill bygga mer hälsosamt. Miljöbyggnad uppfyller också en del krav som presenteras i WELL.  WELL Building Standard är ett väldigt omfattande system, och därför kunde inte alla delar ur systemet inkluderas i analysen i detta projekt. Det är en del framtida forskning som krävs innan alltför generella slutsatser kan dras om hur svenska projekt presterar i fråga om hälsa och välmående. Generellt så är WELL ett bra system att använda om ett projekt siktar på att bli så hälsosamt som möjligt, även om projektet inte använder systemet för certifiering. Systemet ger byggnadens ägare argument de kan använda för att kommunicera hur byggnaden bidrar till hälsa och välmående till och för hyresgästerna, eftersom WELL sätter människan i centrum istället för byggnaden.

Abstract:
Decent quality of indoor air is important for health and wellbeing of building users. We live, work and study in indoors of various types of buildings. Often people are exposed to pollutants at higher concentrations than these that occur out-doors. Continual investigation of indoor air quality is needed for ensuring comfort and healthy environment. Measuring and analysis of occurrence of physical, chemical and biological factors is the first step for suggestion of optimization measures. Inside school buildings there are often inadequate indoor climate conditions such as thermal comfort parame-ters or ventilation. The aim of this study was determination of indoor environmental quality in selected offices in the building of elementary school in Slovakia. The values of operative temperature were not within the optimum range of values for the warm period of the year in one of the monitored offices. The intensity of illumination was lower in the two offices. Low levels of particulate matters were measured except the one office where permissible value was exceeded by 7.6%.

Abstract:
One of the most challenging aspects of buildings at present times is the process of merging thermal with environmental qualities in architecture. Therefore, to execute this process, it is necessary to have healthy and sustainable design strategies. One of the main problems in this joint strategy is providing efficiency, quality, and aesthetics within the buildings. Raising the question of this topic in the public buildings makes this issue even more complex and more emblematic. Before delivering a certain indoor quality of the structures, there is a tremendous necessity of proposing sustainable and efficient design approaches. Accordingly, in this text, wood buildings are taken into account. This research integrates sustainability and thermal aspects of public building design such as libraries. For that reason, the application of the results may find a place between various design methodologies to indicate thermal qualities.

Abstract:
Urban areas have higher temperatures than the surrounding suburban/rural areas, a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI). There is a great interest in creating a healthy and comfortable environment for the growing number of urban dwellers to live in, therefore different methods of combating and diminishing the urban heat island are being studied. One such method is to reduce the energy contribution of buildings to the formation of the urban heat island. In this paper we analyzed the effect of building envelopment, both by seasonal monitoring of surface temperatures using the thermal camera at different time intervals, and by numerical simulations of air temperature at different levels in the atmosphere, using ENVI-met, a three-dimensional non-hydrostatic microclimatic model. The data sets resulting from the monitoring of the surface temperature with the thermal camera showed that the temperature recorded at the surface is lower for the enveloped buildings than for the non-enveloped buildings, during the night but also during the day, less at noon. The numerical simulations were based on two scenarios: i) buildings with non-enveloped walls and ii) the same buildings but with enveloped walls, after running the scenarios for enveloped and non-enveloped buildings. The results showed that following the enveloping process the air temperature in the areas between the buildings is lower for the enveloped buildings, at different heights, both during the night and during the day.

Abstract:
Clearly, the construction sector makes a large scale contribution to environmental degradation and urgently needs to change its principles to focus on environmentally sustainable construction. Earth, as a building material, has a potential cradle to cradle life cycle, thus, achieving a circular economy. This material also displays numerous advantages, namely: economic and ecological and as well as the ease of reuse and recyclability. The earth material also registers a high capacity to absorb and release water vapor, which helps to balance the relative humidity and the internal temperature, promoting not only the comfort of occupants but also the quality of the air in buildings. The materials applied in construction hold great influence over the indoor air quality (IAQ). IAQ ranks as such a crucial issue that it appears in the seventeen 2030 Agenda SDGs. As about 90% of our time is spent inside buildings, whether for leisure or work, it is essential to live in spaces with adequate and healthy interior environments. According to the World Health Organization, good air quality represents a basic requirement for life and is a determining factor for the health and well-being of occupants of indoor spaces. In schools, and due to the complex and diversified activities developed there, in addition to adverse health effects, indoor air quality may also have a direct impact on student concentration and performance. Understanding and studying materials, specifically earth mortars, with the ability to capture pollutants and reduce their concentration while helping to regulate the temperature and relative humidity conditions, and student comfort, is thus extremely important. Hence, with the objective of improving the development of construction strategies, this article details and highlights the beginning of the RESpira project.

Abstract:
In the last years, as a result of environmental concerns, changes in lifestyle during the COVID-19 crisis, the role of healthy buildings in addition to the main lighting design principles are highlighted. Therefore, today’s lighting design issues include social well-being, mental well-being, and physical well-being more than we discussed in the last century. Hence, we are familiar with occupant-centric and performance-based metrics for residential and non-domestic buildings. The study analyses the extended occupancy patterns, daylight availability, and annual lighting energy demand through a case study in Bursa, Turkey including the COVID-19 pandemic scenario.
