EXCELIVING project is focusing on different habitat value chains from a cross-sectorial dimensions: construction building materials, furniture and lighting, home automation, welfare, technology, etc. The aim of the project is to advance towards healthy, age friendly and sustainable environments.
EXCELIVING promotes a holistic dimension of the living environments, focusing on:
Living environments are human-made spaces where people live, spend the night, eat, work, study, enjoy culture and entertainment, make purchases…etc. in European countries people spend more than 90% of their time inside buildings.
The current global trends characterised, among others, by the demographical change, the pandemic health crisis due to the Covid-19 and the increase of awareness of sustainability and ecological principles, have revealed the close connection among living environments and health as living environments can strengthen or reduce the intellectual and physical comfort conditions.
