Health and Wellbeing in Design

Fabric first approach

  • Ensure that energy required is minimised by
  • Facing sun and permitting it to enter home particularly in winter
  • Solar shading worst summer heat gains to reduce overheating
  • Building and insulating using materials with right properties to prevent overheating via opaque building fabric
  • High performance windows avoiding cold down drafts affecting feet thermal comfort

Thermal Comfort

  • Well insulated building fabric (well above national legal minimum Building Regulations)
  • Thermal mass exposed and exploitable, stores solar heat gains and returns it once sun has set
  • Fairly constant temperatures 24 hours per day
  • Airtightness means no cold leaky drafts and no heat loss spewing through gaps
  • Thermal breaks mean no internal cold spots, no condensation, no mould, no rot, no structural failure
  • No more cold feet

Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR)

  • Provide a constant supply of fresh air with low energy consumption
  • Recover heat from extracted ‘stale’ air to warm incoming air
  • Reduce energy consumption
  • Maintain healthy indoor air quality within home

Reduced heating season

  • Typically for just a couple of months per year
  • Resilience to future increases to energy costs
  • Carbon neutral renewable heating systems

Wellbeing

Biophilic design

  • Enabling occupants to enjoy features that reflect nature in all forms
  • There are many methods to be adopted
  • Passive ventilation allowing outdoor fresh air to enter and stale air to exit building via windows and doors and vents
  • Passive ventilation allowing outdoor natural sounds to enter building via windows and doors and vents
  • Passive ventilation allowing outdoor natural smells to enter building via windows and doors and vents
  • Views out onto daylit and sun lit nature
  • Outdoor landscape planting and water attracting wildlife
  • daylight without glare
  • Good daylight and sunlight entering building without harsh sunlight glare
  • Outdoor and indoor planting to add moisture and natural smells to indoor air
  • Internal sound of trickling water (but avoiding increasing moisture content of air putting building at risk)
  • Internal finishes made of natural materials and natural finishes
  • Decoration colours that reflect nature
  • Imagery of nature and natural landscape.

24 Sustainable Development Goals

  • The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
  • The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
  • Countries have committed to prioritize progress for those who’re furthest behind. The SDGs are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls.
  • The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.
