Abstract: (270 Views)
Aims: The main purpose of this article is to introduce the model of healthy building in the interaction of choosing building materials and healthy environment. In this regard, high throughput screening used in construction materials for possible human exposure in the near field and related health risks, identification of chemicals and products of interest to inform risk reduction efforts has been carried out.
methods: The research methodology is based on the theoretical saturation of the research background and the opinions of experts in the field of health of residents at home and at work. Using high throughput screening, hazardous chemicals in the construction industry were identified, and based on the theoretical saturation of the research background and the opinions of experts in the health of residents at home and at work, a focused group discussion method was used.
Findings: Comparing the quality of "healthy building" with three variables of building chemistry, building biology and building physics; and "residents' opinion" with three variables of energy efficiency, residents' satisfaction and residents' health; has been analyzed. The findings of the focused group discussion method clarified various dimensions of the relationship between building chemistry and the health of residents at home and at work.
Conclusion: Designers and manufacturers of building products must actively track and manage the chemical composition of their materials and assess the potential impacts of the chemicals of interest throughout their life cycle. High-throughput screening can provide accessible and rapid tools for such evaluations at the design stage.
