Abstract

The ultimate purpose of this study is to develop a new Kampong Improvement Program (KIP) in collaboration with the residents to improve their indoor environmental conditions, focusing especially on their indoor air quality (IAQ) and health of occupants. According to the WHO’s report in 2013, acute respiratory infection (16%) is the second top cause of death among infants under 5 years old after prematurity (19%) in Indonesia [1]. The prevalence of respiratory diseases is suspected to be related to IAQ conditions in their houses. This paper presents the results of field investigations of dampness, mold and health conditions of residents in a typical Kampong area located in the city of Bandung, Indonesia. The result is later to be used as an example of how building physics and occupant’s behavior may affect occupant’s respiratory health.
