“This book was published with scientific rigor and contains current issues as important as temperature control in the classroom to improve student learning. This edition opens up the field of reflection on the need for comfort to achieve objectives that are not exclusive to emotional stability, or simply static physical comfort (seat, posture, distance, or proximity to the points of instruction) but goes beyond that, taking into account the relationship with the city and how to achieve structures that promote health as a whole. It also takes a look into the past with a description of the Roman legacy that has been handed down to us over the centuries regarding the control of water and its mobility within the city. It is a comprehensive and highly recommended publication that will introduce the reader to a close and interesting academic world.” – Daniel Arranz Paraiso, Collaborating Professor Doctor, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology, University Foundation San Pablo CEU, Spain

This book addresses a topic of great relevance today, considering that in developed countries, most of the time is spent indoors; therefore, indoor residential environments have a direct influence on human health. Furthermore, in developing countries, significant levels of indoor pollution make housing unsafe, which has an impact on the health of its inhabitants; thus, housing is a key factor in the health of people around the world. In this book we look at a range of innovative research and evidence-based policy ideas that demonstrate the importance of housing research and policy for health and well-being.
