The present study aims to understand how indoor environment relates with quality of life and how improving housing conditions impacts on individuals\u2019 health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Design and Methods:<\/em>\u00a0This study case will rely on the following assessments in both rehabilitated and non-rehabilitated social housing: i) field measurements, in social dwellings (namely temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, air velocity, air change rate, level of mould spores and energy consumption); ii) residents\u2019 questionnaires on social, demogaphic, behavioural, health characteristics and quality of life. Also, iii) qualitative interviews performed with social housing residents from the rehabilitated houses, addressing the self-perception of living conditions and their influence in health status and quality of life. All the collected information will be combined and analysed in order to achieve the main objective.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"item abstract\"><em>Expected impact:<\/em> It is expected to define a Predicted Human Life Quality (PHLQ) index, that combines physical parameters describing the indoor environment measured through engineering techniques with residents\u2019 and neighbourhood quality of life characteristics assessed by health questionnaires. Improvement in social housing should be related with better health indicators and the new index might be an important tool contributing to enhance quality of life of the residents.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/jphr.2015.589 Sara Soares EPIUnit, Institute of Public Health, University of Porto, Portugal.
