This work has shown that a knowledge gap exists in this area with almost no research having been undertaken in Australia to establish potential health benefits of energy-efficient building improvements. The minimisation of temperature extremes within buildings, noise-related health impacts and air pollution related morbidity and mortality in an enlarging vulnerable population may yield significant savings to Australia‟s health sector but as yet there is little evidence to back this proposition.
