Summary
This paper reviews existing studies that use computer-based modeling and simulation to guide occupant-centric building design, covering metrics, tools, methods, and supporting mechanisms, and identifies gaps and future research directions.
Categories
Well-being: The paper discusses the importance of considering occupant well-being in building design, and how simulation tools can be used to predict and improve it.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the role of lighting in occupant comfort and productivity, and how it can be optimized through simulation tools.
Education and learning: The paper reviews and synthesizes existing research on occupant-centric building design, providing a resource for learning about this field.
