    Hi:

    Finally someone is taking the initiative to build the home of the future. One concern I do have is that there is no mention of off gassing due to the materials used in new homes. and I wonder given these concerns what is being done to ensure a healthy interior environment.

      This question is not directly related to our research blogs. However, I believe that measurement of off gassing of materials forms part of indoor air quality studies which in itself is a very important and in-depth area of research. Detail studies of indoor health environment is beyond the research scope of the Wilden Living Lab project. There are plenty of interesting studies on the aforementioned area. Some of the recent research regarding indoor air quality of homes has been done by Akther et al., 2019, Wagdi et al., 2018 and Dodson et al., 2017. Thank you very much for this idea and we will consider this research area in our future research.
