This was informed by Aico|HomeLINK expertise to map out inputs, such as humidity levels, and HACT\u2019s Social Value Insight tool, specifically designed for social housing, to map out the outcomes, such as reduced condensation.<\/p>\n<p>The logic model will identify what changes need to be made early in order to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/what-extent-of-retrofitting-work-is-needed-in-the-social-housing-sector\/134233\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">improve an indoor environment<\/a>, such as opening windows or improving the use of heating to reduce condensation and potential hazards from mould.<\/p>\n<h3>Reducing damp and mould in social housing with IoT<\/h3>\n<p>The team has found that sensor systems are valued by housing associations for being able to pinpoint the specific changes in housing conditions more clearly. One example of sensors in use is identifying and proactively fixing a leak in a tenant\u2019s roof. This could prevent risks associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/tackling-damp-and-mould-in-the-social-housing-sector\/121842\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">damp and mould<\/a>, such as respiratory illnesses, thanks to earlier resolution.<\/p>\n<p>This, in turn, would reduce the unaccounted public health issues and poor conditions that may be associated with social housing conditions, particularly for underprivileged and vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n<p>Emma Bland, associate professor in Environment, Health and Wellbeing at University of Exeter Medical School, concluded: \u201cThis technology has the potential to deliver organisational benefits in social housing. However, there is lack of understanding about the broader social value gained from such systems, and the best practice for adoption.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This project builds on many years of research including the groundbreaking Smartline project which focused on more than 200 social households across six years and will strengthen existing and foster new partnerships between University of Exeter, the social housing sector, and the sensor industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;Safer, healther and more sustainable homes&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Chris Jones, chief executive officer for Aico|HomeLINK, explains: \u201cThe quality of housing has a profound and tangible influence on residents\u2019 health and well-being. During winter, cold conditions could result in damp and mould, both of which can have a massive impact, such as triggering allergic reactions and exacerbating asthma and other respiratory infections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By using smart connected home sensors, social landlords can enhance their delivery of safer, healthier and more sustainable homes. These sensors provide both the residents and landlords with valuable data and customised insights, enabling them both to proactively enhance the health and safety of their living spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partnering with Aico|HomeLINK and industry partners, the University of Exeter has
