Healthy energy-efficient housing: using a one-touch approach to maximize public health, energy, and housing programs

Abstract:
Housing conditions such as leaky roofs, peeling paint, structural problems, chronic dampness, improperly vented combustion appliances, and poor ventilation can cause injury, illness, and increased energy consumption. Homes with moderate and severe housing hazards are more likely to be occupied by families with limited incomes because of the lack of affordable housing choices. As a result, children and older adults in these communities face disproportionate impacts from these housing hazards, including higher asthma and injury rates, greater prevalence of lead poisoning, and higher household energy burdens. Programs and policies addressing home health and energy issues have historically operated in categorical silos, which in turn cause fragmented service delivery and inefficient use of scarce resources by the agencies providing these services. A "one-touch" approach for home interventions that strategically integrates public health and energy efficiency has many potential direct and indirect benefits. Also, this approach plays an important role in housing policy due to the increasing support for green housing and residential energy efficiency.

Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground cistern.
