About Built Environment
The aim of the built environment program is to democratize access to design of liveable habitats to address poverty and climate challenges in a climate-stressed world by integrating energy optimization through an ecosystem approach. Underserved communities are usually at the receiving end of the worst impacts of climate change coupled with improper ventilation, natural lighting and thermal conditions; the cost of building resilience and comfort is generally high. The overall energy performance of built environments is influenced by people, units and climate. Hence, innovations need to integrate energy optimization in the application of technologies and the environment of built spaces.
Context and Background
Curative medicine has historically taken precedence over preventive treatment in India. However, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, preventive care has become increasingly crucial. A recent poll of more than 1,000 people revealed that at least 40% of respondents strongly preferred preventative health. NCDs have been the primary cause of mortality and suffering during the last three decades, accounting for 71% of global deaths. In 2019, India was responsible for 66% of all deaths. Furthermore, more than half of these deaths are caused by heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disorders, and diabetes. The economic burden of NCDs on India is anticipated to be over Rs. 511 lakh crore (US$ 6.2 trillion) by 2030. Overweight and obesity alone affect over 17% of our population, costing the country Rs. 2.8 lakh crore (US$ 35 billion) every year, or more than 1% of its GDP
The basic goal of preventive healthcare is to prevent illness before it occurs. It is also called Prophylaxis. The philosophy underlying preventative healthcare is to protect, promote, and preserve one's health and well-being. It also tries to prevent sickness, disability, and mortality on an individual and community level. Preventive health involves the discovery and reduction of disease risk factors, the improvement of the course of an existing disease, and early disease detection through screening. Preventive healthcare is an important aspect in defining health since it comprises avoiding or postponing the start of a sickness, which is critical for a high quality of life.
