Lösemittel, Geruch, Schimmel, Formaldehyd und Elektrosmog – das Leben in geschlossenen Räumen wird gesundheitlich immer bedenklicher. Durch steigende Dämmstandards werden Gebäude dichter ausgeführt und es kommt häufig zu problematischen Schadstoffkonzentrationen. Aufgrund steigender Bewusstseinsbildung durch die Medien fordern Verbraucher und Investoren garantierte Eigenschaften. „Mit Sicherheit gesund bauen“ beschreibt die aktuelle bauliche state of affairs und die daraus resultierenden Anforderungen für die Zukunft der Bauwirtschaft. Die Autoren lassen dabei die rechtlichen Aspekte nicht außer Acht. Bauliche Hinweise für eine Planung und Umsetzung gesunder Gebäude werden anhand von instruments und top perform- und Worst Case-Projekten anschaulich dargestellt. Analog zum Bauprozess werden von der Planung bis zur Nutzung praktikable Lösungen präsentiert.
