Summary
This paper proposes revisions to outdated Italian housing regulations (originally from 1975) to incorporate current scientific evidence on indoor wellbeing factors including lighting, ventilation, and air quality. The update aims to align Italian building codes with contemporary European standards for habitable spaces, with practical implications for how minimum lighting requirements are defined in residential construction and planning.
