Delaying chronic disease

Inhaled air as an example

• Asthma
• NL 80 building related mites, fungi, other
  pollutants
• COPD (chronic bronchitis, lung emphysema)
• NL 40 building related tobacco smoke, other
  pollutants
• Lung cancer
• NL 25 building related tobacco smoke, other
  pollutants

Reducing mite-allergy
f.e.v.boven_at_tue.nl

• Mite asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis
• Preventing premature aging of lungs, mucous
  membranes and skin, from childhood on
• Management of humidity in room textiles
• MEQ (Micro Environment Quality) for mites is
  based on building characteristics and climate
  control
• Risk perception of end-user is currently
  imperfect (medical condition)

HVAC provisions in buildingsto be included in
domotics
  CCPs of HVAC Systems

• Preventing pollution, allergies and infectious
  diseases (Veterans disease, SARS, Influenza,
  etc.)
• Preventing diseases in later life
• HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning)
  systems have numerous critical points to be
  managed
• Competing claims of safety (indoor air quality)
  and social issues (reduction of energy use)

Disability Adjusted Life Yearsall calculations
concern one calendar year

• DALYs of a disease in a population
• Years lost due to premature death
• Years in disability x Disability weight

Gains and costs in The Netherlandsasthma, COPD,
lung cancer

• Healthy years lost/Yr (DALYs) 313x103
• Smart ventilation systems cost / Yr 2.3x109
• Possible gains in healthy years / Yr 89x103
• Reduction in healthcare costs / Yr 394x106
• Cost of 1 extra healthy year 26x103

Depreciation of investment (15 Yrs), interest,
maintenance, and energy

Conclusies

• Slimme ventilatie, verwarming en koeling in
  domotica ? gezondere bevolking
• Echter
• strijdig met energiebesparing
• relatie met gezondheid weinig bekend
• Ieder extra gezond jaar kost 26.000
• Politieke keuzes
