Human-Centered Building Performance
Literature Reviews, Research Insights & Evidence-Based Design Frameworks
Explore literature reviews, research insights, and evidence-based design frameworks.
Discover how acoustics, lighting, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, passive design, and smart building technologies work together bridging building physics, environmental psychology, and sustainable design—to create healthier, more comfortable, and higher-performing environments for people.
AV Consultant vs AV Integrator: Who Is Responsible for What
You have an architect, an MEP consultant and a main contractor. So who is actually responsible for making the AV work? We break down the roles of the AV consultant and the AV integrator, the key coordination points with every discipline, and the pitfalls to avoid on complex projects.
Urban Noise Control: Designing Acoustic Barriers & Building Facades
How do we create healthy, quiet indoor environments amidst extreme urban traffic noise, without disrupting local culture? This case study explores how advanced 3D acoustic modeling (DataKustik CadnaA) is used to design optimized noise barriers and high-performance architectural facades. Discover how data-driven building physics can mitigate 85 dB of vehicular noise, ensuring optimal acoustic comfort without compromising natural daylighting, thermal insulation, or architectural beauty.
