Abstract: Civilizational challenges have questioned the status quo of energy and material consumption by humans. From the built environment perspective, a response to these challenges was the creation of green buildings. Although the revolutionary capacity of the green building movement has elevated the expectations of new commercial construction, its rate of implementation has secluded the majority of the population from its benefits. Beyond reductions in energy usage and increases in market value, the main strength of… Show more

“…1 Those effects may be particularly prominent in workplaces, where full-time workers spend approximately one-third of their day, 5 d/wk. 3 Beyond looking at indoor exposures which lead to adverse health effects, researchers have also discussed, although less frequently, how optimizing indoor environment and building design could promote cognitive function, productivity, health, and well-being. 3 Beyond looking at indoor exposures which lead to adverse health effects, researchers have also discussed, although less frequently, how optimizing indoor environment and building design could promote cognitive function, productivity, health, and well-being.…”

“…2 Evidence from public health and building sciences have demonstrated that environmental elements, including indoor air quality, ventilation, thermal health, water quality, moisture, safety and security, lighting and views, noise, dust and pests, are foundational to human health. 3 Beyond looking at indoor exposures which lead to adverse health effects, researchers have also discussed, although less frequently, how optimizing indoor environment and building design could promote cognitive function, productivity, health, and well-being. [4][5][6][7] Bringing natural elements indoors (ie, biophilic design) has received increasing attention recently due to its potential health benefits.…”

“…Buildings are the habitat of the modern human, as we spend about 90% of our lives in homes, offices, schools, and vehicles [1]. The built environment directly impacts human health and well-being, making building design and operation crucial for managing and improving public health [2][3][4]. Human outcomes frequently identified as being impacted by the built environment include comfort (e.g., thermal [5] and acoustic comfort [6,7]), performance [8,9], sleep [10], stress [11,12], pollutant exposure [13], and a wide range of other health and behavioral outcomes, such as musculoskeletal pain [14], posture [15], pathogen transmission [16][17][18], allergen exposure [19,20], workplace collaboration [21], and privacy [22,23].…”

“…In addition to efficiency in environmental management, local sensing and control through a smart desk can promote healthier workplaces and increased worker productivity. Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters, such as air quality, ventilation, thermal environment, lighting and acoustics are associated with comfort, productivity, creativity, physiological and psychological health and well-being of building occupants (De Croon et al, 2005;Clausen and Wyon, 2008;Wong et al, 2009;Turunen et al, 2014;Allen et al, 2015;Cedeño-Laurent et al, 2018). The majority of the population in the U.S. spends about 90% of the time in enclosed buildings (Klepeis et al, 2001;Allen et al, 2015), and there are more than 81 million professional office workers in the U.S. (Department for Professional Employees., 2015) who spend most of their time working at a desk with little control over the thermal and lighting conditions.…”
