Living Wellness

Dhomo is a unique research project—a true full-scale construction site-laboratory—that has enabled the development of innovative products not only from a technical standpoint but also in terms of the philosophy behind their design: to contribute to the well-being and quality of life of the people who inhabit these spaces. Developed in collaboration with the University of Trento and a select network of trusted partners—involved both scientifically and technologically, from design through implementation—Dhomo is a concrete example of how today’s construction choices can influence tomorrow’s quality of life.

Dhomo is a unique research project, a true, full-scale work site-laboratory that has allowed for the formulation of products that are innovative not only from a technical point of view but also in terms of the philosophy on which they are based; contributing to the well-being of the individuals that inhabit spaces. Developed in collaboration with the University of Trento and a select network of trusted partners involved on both a scientific and technological level from design to implementation. Dhomo is a solid example of how the construction choices made today can influence the well-being in the future.

With the aim of analytically defining living comfort and developing high-performance products that have a direct and tangible impact on quality of life, a complex of residential buildings was constructed using different construction technologies; however, in terms of shape, surface area, exposure, and orientation, these buildings are entirely comparable to one another. This made it possible to analyze and compare the data collected—thanks to an advanced system of sensors installed during construction—to identify the best technologies for living comfort and develop new natural, healthy, and breathable products.

The research project began with an initial phase of data monitoring during the construction of the buildings, which made it possible to analyze the behavior of the structures, finishes, and systems—comparing, for example, the results of using different products, natural or mechanical ventilation, convection or radiant systems, and either automated or manual management systems. Over the subsequent one-year period, this data was supplemented by an analysis of the actual perceived well-being of the families living in the residential units. This highly valuable information has enabled the development of an integrated, holistic index—a unit of measurement for assessing living well-being—providing Tassullo with unique expertise that is difficult to replicate and, consequently, a competitive advantage in assisting planners and builders in creating comfortable and sustainable buildings.
