Dana Pillai

Dana Pillai, president of Delos Labs and executive director of Well Living Lab, researches the real-world impact of housing on well-being, and created Well Living Lab to generate statistical evidence to champion the implementation of healthier indoor spaces. Pillai’s innovative research facility leverages and expands upon the principles of the WELL Building Standard, which sets performance requirements in seven concepts related to indoor health: air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort, and mind. It is the first scientific research center that uses exclusively human- based research to understand the relationship between health and indoor environments, and features advanced sensor technology and remote monitoring that allows a study’s participants to move about freely— unencumbered by wires, devices, and monitors.
