My research project
Healthy Aging Community Design Using Green InfrastructureAge-friendly communities should be not just friendly, but also require sufficient green infrastructure (GI) to establish a healthy interaction between older people and the built environment. This project aims to develop green infrastructure strategies in healthy aging communities to understand the trade-off between the elderly, ventilation, air pollution build-up and mitigation strategies to benefit the indoor air quality as well as the airborne transmission of diseases. The work will involve measurements as well as the computational fluids modelling.
