Building with Healthy Building Materials

Thesis Abstract

This project aims to explore the use of healthy building materials in construction to create indoor environments that promote occupant health and well-being. The research will focus on identifying and evaluating various healthy building materials, such as low-emission paints, formaldehyde-free wood products, and antimicrobial surfaces. The study will also investigate the impact of these materials on indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and overall occupant satisfaction. The findings will contribute to the development of guidelines for selecting and integrating healthy building materials into building design and construction, ultimately creating healthier and more sustainable built environments.
