Occupant behavior has been widely considered as one of the key influencing factors on
building energy consumption. The complexity of its formation mechanism and the dynamic …

Occupant behavior in buildings might result into gap between predicted and actual energy
use and cause indoor thermal comfort fluctuations, due to its uncertainty and …

Although human-built environment interaction has been studied extensively, the scope has
been mostly limited to a single sensory domain instead of multimodal conditions. This …

Abstract The use of Virtual Reality (VR) to enhance research in the building sector is
currently emerging, but validation studies are still limited. This work aims to provide a …

Classroom lighting conditions affect students' academic performance due to the influence of
light on learning. Illuminance is a lighting parameter recognised as an important factor in …

Wood can be used for various applications, such as for carbon storage, to enhance
structural strength, and to promote biophilia; additionally, wooden building can positively …

The complexity of occupant behavior is one of the major contributors to uncertainty in
building performance simulation. Agent-based modeling (ABM), a computational simulation …

Previous research has extensively documented several benefits of interacting with nature.
Biophilic design applications aimed at connecting the built environment back to nature have …

To make holistic assessment of the urban environment, it is important to consider both
indoor and outdoor thermal environment. Outdoor thermal parameters play key roles in high …

Abstract The use of Virtual Reality (VR) to assess comfort, productivity, and behaviour in built
environments is currently emerging. However, an effective and standardised methodology to …
