Gaia Research are currently coming to the end of their two year monitoring of the building and will be reporting the results soon.

Gaia Research are currently acting as Sustainability Consultants within the design team for a new-build 33 flat supported living development in Forres.

Gaia Research have been undertaking two separate pieces on work in relation to design for dementia, recently.

The first is a publication with Stirling Dementia Services Development Centre at Stirling University, providing best practice guidance on ventilation and indoor air quality design for dementia.

The publication is in it’s final draft form currently, so watch this space for a publication date.

In tandem, Gaia have been undertaking a feasibility study for a housing association, to determine the extend of works required to ensure one of their current supported living properties is compliant with best practice guidance for those with dementia.
