Dr. Nicola Willand: Green Home Design — Integrating Sustainable Practices | Room by Room #68
The world suffers from many environmental issues that can be traced back to a litany of daily human activities—and architecture has responded with green home design. This week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella chats with housing researcher and RMIT lecturer Dr. Nicola Willand.
With a background in architecture, Dr. Nicola Willand approaches sustainability in the built environment holistically and is particularly interested in the interplay of housing, energy, health, and equity. Her research aims to provide a better understanding of this intersection and to inform plans that will minimize environmental impacts and life cycle costs while maximizing productivity, health, and social equity in the low-carbon housing transition. Best of all, her most recent project, ‘When Vic learnt about healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient homes,’ is a comic aimed at educating the public on housing energy justice.
In this episode, Dr. Nicola Willand describes green home design as a holistic approach to architecture that considers passive climate, sensitive techniques, heating, cooling, lighting, low carbon, environmentally-friendly materials, and more. She elaborates that materials used inside a house can contribute to air quality and affect our physical health, iterating the benefit of opting for second-hand furniture.
Together, Marie and Dr. Nicola Willand weigh up the various green home certifications available around the world and examine their rating criteria. So, tune in for an extremely informative and engaging episode that is sure to leave you feeling confident about integrating sustainable practices into your household!
