Urban built environments can influence human cognitive and emotional comforts. Human comfort in the built environment has challenged architects and urban designers while developing comfortable spaces. Emerging cognitive-architectural studies in architecture engineering inform new directions for improvising human spatial design practices. This paper intends to present a systematic meta-analysis of selected empirical studies to identify the gaps and future scope of research in human cognition and built environments. However, the scope of the literature review is to concentrate on experiments that consider physiological reading in different environments, such as nature and architectural spaces in cognitive study areas. The peer-reviewed literature published from 2010 to 2021 illustrates that only limited design parameters are considered in these experiments. The study analyses the extensive consideration of experimental medium, simulation categories, and participant factors like gender and age in this research domain. The survey recommends considering more visual features, contextual conditions, and ethnic groups.

The interest in building performance simulations has been growing due to their effectiveness in creating energy-efficient and healthier building designs. Various energy and lighting simulation tools for designers have been developed accordingly, while not many studies on airflow simulation tools are available. Moreover, building research using airflow simulations typically focuses on a single domain of design. Responding to these issues, the present study introduces airflow simulation tools and strategies for holistic architectural design processes and establishes a framework for utilizing the simulations in the early stages of design. An architectural project was selected for the investigation, and various types of simulations were conducted to find how airflow simulations interact with design processes. Based on this, a framework recommending simulation tools and strategies was proposed that may help designers understand the different characteristics of the tools and how to properly use the simulations based on the needs of each design stage.

This study investigated the impact of various energy conservation measures (ECMs) on total annual electricity consumption on a single level, two-bedroom residential building in an arid climate and in a very remote area of Australia. Base case scenario of annual energy consumption profiles of the building and its existing systems were modelled and simulated using DesignBuilder software, and the results were validated by on-site measured electricity data. Two categories of ECMs (major intervention and minor intervention) were investigated and analysed. The findings show that the total annual energy consumption of the case study building can be reduced by up to 44% (2 kWh/m2·yr) when compared against the base model and measured data if selected ECMs are implemented. Significant savings from implementing selected ECMs can help alleviate the cost-of-living pressure and stress currently experienced by many households on low incomes especially for residents of very remote communities in Australia.

The goal of this study is maintained as the process of establishing and validating an evidence-based approach for assessing the quality of hospital’s wayfinding from an environmental standpoint and creating an evaluation tool for the building’s wayfinding performance (WP). To do this, the integrated Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique was utilized to examine the independent linkages between users’ movement dynamics based on Factor Analysis and the D-ANP (Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) based Analytical Network Process (ANP)) method. In this regard, experts gave each model’s variable a weight and a significant value. Thus, findings show that experts classified sixteen indicators into three dimensions in the proposed model: physical data (with 50% influence on building wayfinding (BW)), environmental representation data (with 33% influence on BW), and symbolic data of the environment (17% influence on BW). In validating the scheme, the findings met the case criteria, demonstrating tool’s practical feasibility.

Smart thermostats differ significantly from traditional devices and are quickly becoming commonplace in homes. Literature demonstrates that thermostat interfaces greatly influence user interaction and related energy outcomes. Moreover, how users imagine their device to work appears to have a greater impact on usage than how the system functions. Previous work investigated manual and programmable thermostats in this context, employing user mental models (UMMs) to analyse user understanding. Since then, thermostats have developed significantly. This paper presents a novel investigation of smart thermostat UMMs. It employs contemporary methods to construct ten UMM diagrams, and three detailed case studies, contextualized with previous findings. All participants demonstrated feedback theory. Case studies highlight common misconceptions. Overall, smart thermostat UMMs appear to enable effective usage; however, some users are overwhelmed by the complexity, limiting engagement and use of features (e.g. programming).

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of interactive stairway designs by comparing the user's behaviour and the incidence of unsafe stair use on two interactive stairways with a stairway made of conventional material. The Stairway Observation Checklist (SOC) for recording observations of stair users was developed. Observations were conducted in two museum buildings with interactive stairways and in one university building with a conventional stairway. Cautionary behaviours and incidents on the interactive stairways and the conventional stairway were documented and compared. On the interactive stairways, more users glanced down at the treads; fewer users diverted their gaze away from the stairs; and handrail use was higher. Incident rates were similar across the stairways. The research suggests that interactivity increases the risk of stair use but also can promote increased attention to the stair climbing task. More specifically, interactive stairways encourage more cautious behaviours than conventional stairways.
