Towards Indoor Well-Being: Synthetic Indices for Monitoring Built Environment Quality Based on UN’s 2030 Agenda

The goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda declare that sustainable development is a complex objective, which can only be achieved if we work simultaneously on different areas of action, at different levels of detail. Indoor well-being, in addition to being one of the aspects that the 2030 Agenda considers as a pillar (goal 3), is in turn determined by various factors that pertain to similar but different research fields, which are found in the disciplines that deal with the built environment as a common denominator, a meeting place. Despite to the complex phenomenon of indoor well-being, in the built environment we can identify constructive aspects and environmental parameters that can be strictly correlated to indoor well-being from a quantitative point of view. In this paper, a methodological study to check physiological well-being’s relationship to Built Environment Quality aligned with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda has been developed. The result is an assessment and monitoring system suitable to be improved by further qualitative aspects, IoT, and new enabling technologies for the management of the indoor spaces.
