Measuring the Occupants' Well-Being in the Built Environment: Towards the Integration of Physiological and Environmental Parameters in a Multidomain BIM-Based Platform

There is increasing interest in developing multidomain monitoring systems for the built environment, covering not only structural health-related aspects but also focusing on environmental and physiological parameters directly determining the occupants' comfort and well-being. Integrating this information in the Building Information Modelling (BIM) of a building makes the whole ecosystem interconnected, thus providing a feedforward loop capable of improving people's well-being as well as building energy consumption. This paper presents the preliminary results of the solution proposed within the framework of the European project MULTICLIMACT, seeking tools enhancing resilience at multiple scale levels. Results prove the feasibility and the efficiency of the proposed approach to integrate data from a plethora of multidomain sensors in a flexible, modular, and interoperable manner.
