Human health is a condition influenced by many aspects: genetic predisposition, food and water, lifestyle, age and the physical and social environment. Outdoor hazards penetrate the house and add to the indoor hazards. The physical housing conditions and also occupant behaviour create health hazards. In maintenance policy and renovation projects, the opportunities to reduce health risks and adapt houses to the health needs of households are not used to their full potential. Health criteria were until recently poorly integrated into sustainable building, and some technical innovations to save energy are associated with health related complaints. Good diagnosis of environmental problems is often a bottleneck for home owners and housing managers. Better insight into health performance qualities and a clear framework and common language can improve health performance.

The comprehensive Healthy Housing Principles (HHP) Reference Guide, published by the Building Performance Institute, Inc. (BPI), digs into the eight principles of healthy housing: keep it clean, dry, pest-free, contaminant-free, safe, ventilated, comfortable, and maintained. Each chapter focuses on a different principle - describing with instructional language, photos, and diagrams how to pinpoint and address any issues. The guide provides access to additional resources from industry experts and multiple organizations involved in this field. Once review of the guide is complete, readers can prove their healthy housing knowledge by challenging a 100-question online exam to earn the HHP certificate. Anyone interested in the connection between human health symptoms and the possible home issues that could be causing them should purchase the HHP Reference Guide and earn BPI's Healthy Housing Principles Certificate of Knowledge.

The objective of this book is to encourage administrations to formulate a sound housing policy to solve basic health-related housing problems and to meet WHO's objective of healthful housing for all by the year 2000. The principles of healthy housing have universal applicability, as most countries of the developed world have areas of slum or otherwise insanitary housing. It is hoped that this guide will be used extensively as a reference to basic health requirements for new housing and human settlements and as a guide for assessing the hygienic quality of existing housing. The book would sit well alongside inter-professional and community education programmes.

This report provides findings from the second of a three year outcomes evaluation of the Healthy Housing programme. The aims of the evaluation are to identify and critically review: the evidence that the Healthy Housing programme continues to make a difference in the risk and rate of housing-related diseases, conditions and injuries, and improved wellbeing; the sustainability of effect of the interventions on the households; and any obstacles to the achievement of expected and unexpected outcomes for the Healthy Housing programme. This evaluation report confirms the effectiveness of the intersectoral and collaborative approach of the Healthy Housing programme. Active participation of families in the decision-making process has been documented as giving rise to greater wellbeing and a sense of empowerment. The report begins with an outline of the background and aims of this outcomes evaluation, followed by a short account of the Healthy Housing programme. The perspectives of the households and providers are presented, followed by an analysis of successes and obstacles identified.

Housing Fit for Purpose sets out a research-focused approach to looking at the challenges facing the built environment in approaching the design, construction and management of housing. This book uses original research by the author on housing performance evaluation and distils it for built environment professionals, arguing that learning from feedback should be taking place at every stage of the housing project lifecycle, improving outcomes for end users. Drawing on active research, this book shows why and how the design, construction and management of housing can be linked to feedback and actual evidence of how people choose, and learn, to use their homes. It examines the key concepts which underlie participatory design, occupancy feedback and learning, and includes a practical primer on how to undertake housing occupancy feedback.

It is widely acknowledged that there is an urgent need to transform our housing stock to a better energy performance level. However, improving energy performance should not result in a negative impact on the health, wellbeing and the comfort of building occupants. There are many energy-neutral features that can be incorporated at small or zero cost which have a positive effect on wellbeing. This book aims to outline and discuss these aspects of building design. The issue of health and wellbeing has already entered into design advice for the workplace, where productivity and absenteeism are often used as indicators. This book concentrates on residential buildings, notably mass housing and affordable strategies, for which new, more socially and health-oriented indicators are being developed. Provides practical design guidance based on scientific evidence Explores both physical and psychological wellbeing Focuses on the home and immediate domestic environment Structured in an accessible way for architects and designers.
