Besides general principles of fire safety, the aim of this thesis was to guide those responsible to choose the appropriate active intervention methods, more precisely fire detection and automatic suppression systems. In the process, the focus was always on heritage buildings and the values these convey. The suitability of each system for different types of heritage buildings was first evaluated quite generally and should later on be analysed more precisely in the context of a case study on a concrete example. The first part consisted mainly of bibliographical research to assemble a considerable amount of information to cover the more theoretical aspect of this thesis. The practical part of the case study could unfortunately not be done due to the current very exceptional circumstances in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, as it would have required on-site visitation.
Instead, other aspects of fire safety were included in the work, such as the principle of risk management and the associated fire risk analysis. Nevertheless, this thesis remains rather a conceptional one due to the absence of the case study.
I came to the conclusion that many methods exist to increase fire safety. However, one has to way up the pros and cons for each one in order to determine which is the most appropriate. Since heritage buildings are particularly sensitive to any kind of intervention, this selection is a complex process, but should be facilitated thanks to this work.

This Special Issue addresses a topic of great relevance. In developed countries, there is a higher prevalence of people choosing to spend time indoors. Data show that the time a person spends at home ranges from 60% to 90% of the day, and 30% of that time is spent sleeping, though this varies depending on the individual. Taking into account these data, indoor residential environments have a direct influence on human health. Furthermore, in developing countries, significant levels of indoor pollution make housing unsafe, impacting the health of its inhabitants. Housing is therefore a key health factor for people all over the world: various parameters such as air quality, ventilation, hygrothermal comfort, lighting, physical environment, and building efficiency can contribute to healthy architecture; poor application of these parameters can result in conditions that negatively impact health.
