This week’s hashtag#MakingHousingBetter podcast features Dr Douglas Booker, Lecturer at the University of Leeds, Co‑Founder of NAQTS, and Regional Clean Air Champion, in conversation with Lee Reevell, Chief Innovation Officer at Healthy Homes Hub.

The discussion covers:
• Why indoor air quality remains a “market failure” in health and housing.
• Lessons from monitoring 20 schools – and how they apply to social homes.
• The low‑cost ventilation fixes that can prevent damp, mould and poor air.
• How the Hestia project is bringing academia, landlords and communities together to retrofit for health and equity.
• Why a national indoor air quality observatory could be transformative for housing policy.
This episode highlights the importance of collaboration, lived experience and robust data to ensure that retrofits and technology deliver healthier, fairer homes.
