Residents in social housing often spend a higher proportion of time indoors, making the quality of the internal environment especially important. Poor ventilation, damp, mould, and inadequate air quality and circulation can contribute to respiratory illness, discomfort, and long-term health issues. Therefore placing additional pressure on residents and housing providers alike.
Healthy building strategies help address these challenges by improving airflow, managing moisture, and reducing indoor pollutants, creating homes that are more comfortable, resilient, and fit for modern living.
