Thermal comfort is defined as the condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with thermal environment and it assessed by subjective evaluation. Achieving comfortable environments essential for human health, productivity, learning performance energy efficiency. The measurement requires an indirect process involving several domains: environment, physiology psychology. Four physiological signals were reviewed, considering their relevance in context measuring indoor comfort. approaches investigating electroencephalography, electrocardiograph, skin temperature galvanic response field are presented. This paper introduces overview on application wearable sensors recording parameters extracting features potentially correlated comfort, together a discussion about reliability. review shows state art, identification existing knowledge gaps this area corresponding needs future research dedicated methodological efforts.

Energy use in the building is responsible for one-third of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions globally. Nearly half energy loss occurs through envelope due to heat transfer to/for surroundings. Therefore, there a need design an optimum reduce buildings that depend on several parameters. This study aims review different parameters and provide conceptual framework optimize envelope. In total, 260 papers were reviewed, consideration was categorized into: 1) Design Parameters (design geometry), 2) environmental conditions (indoor outdoor) 3) performance criteria (energy, environment, economic, comfort). CO2-emission increase with high thermal conductivity, low mass, solar absorption its Geometrically, orientation impacts more than shape factor. Changing set point temperature according surrounding has reduced by 30% 56%, respectively. However, indoor air quality, velocity, occupancy have meagerly affected use. emission optimization are directly related, but emission-based optimized thicker one. Other such as economy comfort (thermal visual) inversely proportional energy-efficient Based comprehensive review, this proposed sustainable includes life cycle assessment, occupant's satisfaction, social benefits. Several future research recommendations made, including switchable reflective materials minimize transfer, dynamic insulation material control value needed, smart windows tunable optical properties.

Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) significantly impacts human health, well-being, and productivity. However, a comprehensive in-depth review of the combined effects IAQ other multi-domain factors on productivity is lacking. There has not been any prior that encapsulates impact physiological responses occupants. To address this gap, paper investigates highlights (thermal, visual, acoustic) occupant well-being in built environment. The explores various research methods, including evaluation creativity, data collection, signal analysis. We also examined interactions between factors, as well strategies for optimizing through integrated building design smart systems. key findings from reveal with IEQ further impacting these effects. Despite advances field, there are several limitations gaps current methods study designs, small sample sizes, limited insufficient experimental control, reliance laboratory or simulated environments, lack follow-up long-term data, robust performance metrics. proposes future directions, specific applications, work to advance understanding implications policy practice include need holistic approaches management, focus creating healthy productive indoor environments. This emphasizes importance considering complex interplay potentials adopting control systems sustainable optimize By addressing critical issues, we can enhance overall life occupants contribute more future.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) has significant impacts on office occupants' productivity, well-being and health. Addressing IAQ not only means ensuring that contaminants are below harmful concentration but also people exposed satisfied. However, current standards often lack clear metrics thresholds dedicated to Perceived Air Quality (PAQ). Therefore, it is important examine whether there a prevalent method in the literature could lead towards standardization. This review study constitutes first comprehensive critical exploration of subject. Adopting PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses) guidelines, objective synthesize compare diverse methods (subjective vs instrumental evaluations; object judgment; component perception; rating scales) assessing PAQ buildings, based insights from 93 field laboratory studies. Results show assessment predominantly relies questionnaires (90%), with very smaller percentage using alternative such as olfactory indices, diaries, interviews, sensory testing, text mining techniques. Workers' satisfaction most commonly evaluated aspect questionnaires, measured 7-point Likert scale. Odours typically characterized terms intensity by utilizing continuous 6-point unidirectional Olfactory stimuli usually considered negative connotation, being absence odour target design. The present proposes future research agenda introduces importance perceptual approach evaluate indoor environments (or smellscapes), aiming create working spaces odour-neutral olfactorily pleasant.
