Numerous built environment factors have a negative effect upon human health and wellbeing, including lack of natural daylighting, light trespass, poor air quality, poor water quality, damaging noise pollution, uncontrolled thermal conditions, constraints and limitations on physical mobility, disorienting surroundings, amongst others. A new vision for environmental health extends beyond the traditional removal of negative factors that cause illness and disease to embrace aspects of the built and natural environment that support physical health and emotional wellbeing.
