Factors That Impact Human Health in the Built Environment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Smart Technologies and Design For Healthy Built Environments

Abstract

Conditions related to the built environment affect human health from numerous perspectives and across multiple dimensions [1]. Based on the multi-disciplinary, multi-scale, and multi-factor framework proposed in Chap. 2, this Chapter organizes influential factors of the built environment to human health into four categories based on the leading disciplines of the built environment research where the health impact is studied. The four primary categories are physical, physiological, biological, and psychological factors.
