Measuring the Wellbeing Benefits of Interior Materials : Research Programme WISER (Wellbeing: Improving Satisfaction of End Users in Refurbishment (Pamphlet)

This Information Paper provides some background on the subject of wellbeing in buildings and presents the findings of a BRE Trust project, 'Measuring the wellbeing benefits of interior material selection'. The project's innovative approach was in focusing on end users' wellbeing beyond the scope of indoor air quality: wellbeing that occupants perceive to be influenced primarily by the materials used in built environments. The objective of the project was to put occupants at the heart of the sustainable refurbishment and refit of buildings.
