Well-Being at Work: Applying a Novel Approach to Comfort Elicitation

摘要

This paper presents a novel approach for assessing comfort at the workplace, resulting from an interdisciplinary work between researchers in human-computer interaction, architecture, social sciences, smart buildings and energy management. A systemic comfort elicitation model including but not limited to thermal comfort, is suggested. A proof-of-concept prototype application developed based on the proposed model is also presented. The results of a first evaluation of the application's acceptability in a real working environment are discussed.
