The project partially answers the question as it discusses the use of data to monitor and improve building health, specifically in terms of air quality, climate, occupancy, and energy and water use, but does not fully address the assessment of health impacts or oversight of thermal environment, ventilation, noise etc.
We know that cold houses [increase mortality and respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity][0], while poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) further affects the health outcomes of occupants, [particularly those related to Covid-19...
