This project aims to assess the public health impact of sustainable housing initiatives by examining the relationship between real estate sustainability and household well-being. The focus will be on environmental factors, disease prevention, and health improvements associated with sustainable housing developments. The student team will conduct research, data analysis, and health assessments to identify the potential benefits of eco-friendly housing on air quality, mental health, and disease reduction. Findings will contribute to evidence-based recommendations for integrating public health considerations into sustainable real estate practices.
