ABSTRACT
Comfort in work environments is highly influenced by indoor environmental quality–the combined effects of acoustics, thermal, lighting, air quality, and so forth. These physical parameters can impair productivity, and also can be a threat to health, and compromise the well-being. This dissertation work explores the opportunities for interactive artificial intelligence to bring radical changes in human experiences within built environments. The research description outlines four case studies that bring tailored notifications and actions to users in order to improve their comfort in the personal and social context in office buildings as well as at home.
