“…Variable air volume systems can dynamically meet ventilation requirements with less energy consumption and comfortable thermal condition [303,304]. Marzouk and Abdelaty presented an application that utilized a wireless sensor network and building information modeling to monitor thermal conditions in subways [305]. Furthermore, multivariate monitoring and local interpretation of IAQs better isolate air quality characteristics that vary seasonally and allow for more specific monitoring of air pollutants [306].…”

Environmental health in subway stations, a typical type of urban underground space, is becoming increasingly important. Ventilation is the principal measure for optimizing the complex physical environment in a subway station. This paper narratively reviews the environmental and health effects of subway ventilation and discusses the relevant engineering, environmental, and medical aspects in combination. Ventilation exerts a notable dual effect on environmental health in a subway station. On the one hand, ventilation controls temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality to ensure human comfort and health. On the other hand, ventilation also carries the potential risks of spreading air pollutants or fire smoke through the complex wind environment as well as produces continuous noise. Assessment and management of health risks associated with subway ventilation is essential to attain a healthy subway environment. This, however, requires exposure, threshold data, and thereby necessitates more research into long-term effects, and toxicity as well as epidemiological studies. Additionally, more research is needed to further examine the design and maintenance of ventilation systems. An understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms and aerodynamic characteristics of various pollutants can help formulate ventilation strategies to reduce pollutant concentrations. Moreover, current comprehensive underground space development affords a possibility for creating flexible spaces that optimize ventilation efficiency, acoustic comfort, and space perception.

“…Multi-agent-based simulation models were studied in Andrews et al (2011) to investigate the performance of HVAC system when occupants are participating. In Marzouk and Abdelaty (2014), thermal comfort in subways was monitored by using building information modeling method. In Yang and Wang (2012), swarm intelligence was utilized to determine the control policy of each equipment in the HVAC system.…”

“…In this context, recent developments in BEMS are focusing on smart technologies to address the gap between energy consumption and occupants' comfort [8,9]. Additionally, a multi-dimensional environment also exists that integrates a BIM model as a platform for presenting terminal information and model construction [10][11][12][13] to enhance the visual effect of monitoring results. However, BIM and IoT integration research are still in nascent stages, and data interoperability, interaction, and cloud computing are obvious issues and limitations [14].…”

Comfort level in the human body is an index that is always difficult to evaluate in a general and objective manner. Therefore, building owners and managers have been known to adjust environmental physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, and air quality based on people’s subjective sensations to yield satisfactory feelings of comfort. Furthermore, electricity consumption could be reduced by minimizing unnecessary use of heating and cooling equipment based on precise knowledge of comfort levels in interior spaces. To achieve the aforementioned objectives, this study undertook the following four tasks: first, providing visualization and smart suggestion functions to assist building managers and users in analyzing and developing plans based on the demands of space usage and electrical equipment; second, using Internet of Things technology to minimize the difference between real situations and those simulated in building information modeling (BIM); third, accurately evaluating interior environment comfort levels and improving equipment operating efficiency based on quantized comfort levels; and fourth, establishing a persuasive workflow for building energy saving systems. Through developing this system, COZyBIM will help to enhance the satisfactions of comfort level in interior space and operate energy consuming equipment efficiently, to reach the target of energy saving.
