"Healthy Spaces" explores the profound impact of indoor environments on our physical and mental well-being. It delves into how the air we breathe, the light we experience, and the materials surrounding us can significantly affect our health, often more than we realize.
Did you know that we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors? This book sheds light on how factors like indoor air quality, affected by pollutants such as VOCs and mold, and access to natural lighting are critical for maintaining optimal health, influencing everything from respiratory function to cognitive performance.
The book progresses through key areas, beginning with the science of air quality and its effects on cardiovascular health. It goes on to investigate the impact of light and sound on circadian rhythms and mental state. Finally, it explores biophilic design, revealing how incorporating natural elements can reduce stress and improve focus.
What makes "Healthy Spaces" unique is its approach to bridging scientific research with practical guidance, offering actionable steps for creating healthier indoor spaces using environmental science, public health, and architecture.
