Published: March 7, 2025

The pursuit of sustainable design has made strides in improving building practices, yet traditional approaches often fall short addressing the holistic needs both environment and human well-being. This research delves into emerging field regenerative design, which extends beyond sustainability by seeking to restore enhance ecological systems. By integrating principles indoor environments, this study evaluates their impact on environmental quality (IEQ). Through a comprehensive literature review, demonstrates that can significantly air quality, thermal comfort, lighting, acoustics, ultimately creating healthier more productive spaces. paper also discusses potential challenges outlines future directions further advance application practices.

Over half a million people in the U.S. experience homelessness. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) aims to house and support formerly unhoused individuals. Few studies have considered how PSH building design affects residents’ well-being. Our work investigates impact of built features, particularly biophilic features (e.g., indoor greenery), on stress sense belonging residents. We interviewed surveyed 28 residents two buildings their well-being environment, conducted thematic content analyses. Among participants mentioned upkeep noise as most consequential for Biophilic improved by providing multi-sensory stimuli increasing perceived control. Overall, interpersonal relationships safety were themes While meeting basic needs is essential well-being, our findings show that also matters. provide recommendations inform future development.
