The objective of the 6 DCs involved in WP3 is a quantum leap towards passive and hybrid solutions highly acceptable for all sorts of individuals at lowest energy use levels and without rebounds.
DC5. Long-term well-being and health through improved sleep quality
OBJECTIVE: To identify and quantify trade-offs between stimuli from different domains (thermal, acoustic) and their individual and interactive effects on sleep quality and additional health-related parameters.
SECONDMENTS: (i) The Cyprus Institute; (ii) VELUX
DC6. Long-term physiological, psychological and behavioural daytime adaptation
OBJECTIVE: To identify and quantify long-term physiological, psychological and behavioural adaptive processes due to interactions between stimuli from different domains and their benefits for the acceptance of passive and hybrid solutions and human resilience.
