JSR Associates, Inc. partnered with Dr. Debra Harris, Dr. Erich Baker, and Dr. Leslee Funderburk of Baylor University on a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant funded feasibility study for the completion of a web-based application supporting health and wellness within web-based and BIM software. The team completed literature searches on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and IEQ (Lighting / Views) in relationship to health and wellness outcomes. Operational diagrams were also completed to tie evidence from the literature searches into the programming process and subsequently used to develop the BIM software add-on application.
