Improved housing conditions can save lives, prevent disease, increase quality of life, reduce poverty, and help mitigate climate change. Housing is becoming increasingly important to health in light of urban growth, ageing populations and climate change. The WHO Housing and health guidelines bring together the most recent evidence to provide practical recommendations to reduce the health burden due to unsafe and substandard housing. Based on newly commissioned systematic reviews, the guidelines provide recommendations relevant to inadequate living space (crowding), low and high indoor temperatures, injury hazards in the home, and accessibility of housing for people with functional impairments. In addition, the guidelines identify and summarize existing WHO guidelines and recommendations related to housing, with respect to water quality, air quality, neighbourhood noise, asbestos, lead, tobacco smoke and radon. The guidelines take a comprehensive, intersectoral perspective on the issue of housing and health and highlight co-benefits of interventions addressing several risk factors at the same time. The WHO Housing and health guidelines aim at informing housing policies and regulations at the national, regional and local level and are further relevant in the daily activities of implementing actors who are directly involved in the construction, maintenance and demolition of housing in ways that influence human health and safety. The guidelines therefore emphasize the importance of collaboration between the health and other sectors and joint efforts across all government levels to promote healthy housing. The guidelines' implementation at country-level will in particular contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals on health (SDG 3) and sustainable cities (SDG 11). WHO will support Member States in adapting the guidelines to national contexts and priorities to ensure safe and healthy housing for all.

Thermal Insulation Handbook for the Oil and Gas Industries addresses relative design, materials, procedures, and standard installation necessities for various oil and gas infrastructure such as pipelines, subsea equipment, vessels, and tanks. With the continued increase in available natural gas ready to export — especially LNG — and the definition of "deepwater" changing every year, an understanding of thermal insulation is more critical than ever. This one-of-a-kind handbook helps oil and gas engineers ensure that their products are exporting safely and that the equipment's integrity is protected. Topics include: Design considerations and component selection, including newer materials such as cellular glass Methods to properly install the insulation material and notable inspection and safety considerations in accordance with applicable US and international standards, specifically designed for the oil and gas industry Calculations to make sure that every scenario is considered and requirements for size, composition, and packaging are met effectively Understand all appropriate, new and existing, insulation material properties as well as installation requirements Gain practical knowledge on factors affecting insulation efficiency, rules of thumb, and links to real-world case studies Maximize flow assurance safely and economically with critical calculations provided

Methods for evaluation of the low-temperature resistance of non-rigid insulating materials have progressed from haphazard arbitrary methods to one widely used standard test. Not too long ago, this property was determined by pinching the material with pliers or bending it in half while it was in a can of dry ice. This basic idea then was refined somewhat by standardizing the exposure time in a cold box and bending a specimen around definite diameter mandrels. This was commonly known as the mandrel-bend test, but was found to be non-reproducible due to the effects of variations in bending force and speed, and mandrel temperature. Another step in the evolution of a low-temperature test for insulating materials was development of a jig to hold and bend the specimen a controlled distance. This test has been adopted as ASTM Method D 736 and has been used quite extensively in the rubber industry. However, results from this method have been found to be affected by the rate of flexing, which cannot be closely controlled, thus reducing reproducibility. A little over a decade ago, an impact failure test was introduced and adopted as ASTM Method D 746. This test introduced a new criterion for low-temperature failure--cracking of the specimen by high-speed impact while in a cold liquid bath. Results from this method were found to be fairly reproducible, and, with slight modifications, it rapidly has become standard for evaluation of most non-rigid insulation materials. Comparatively little consideration has been given to the significance of the results.
