Vital Signs Lab is a collective of researchers and designers who share a common interest in healthy building environments. It is located in the Facultad de Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Geografía, at the Universidad de Concepción, Chile. VSL supports research centered on human wellbeing, comfort, indoor air quality, energy use in new and existing buildings in the built environment. The lab also offers technical support to courses that measure, analyze, and design systems within the University as well as external consulting to architectural firms and institutions.

VSL is defined as space for exploration, diagnostics, evaluation, interpretation, and a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of our human environments.  We propose a diagnostics methodology of acquiring the main vitals of built spaces.
