The Use of Building Services to Enhance the Quality of Life

Abstract

Housing has a lot of definitions but in short it can be defined as the provision of shelter including all amenities and services such as water, electricity and waste management systems. The provision of housing units in human settlements does not only satisfy the physical and biological needs of man, but also quality of life as well. This quality of life can only be achieved if adequate housing is provided. The Ghana vision 2020 developmental document has policies which are geared towards the provision of adequate and affordable housing for all Ghanaians.
