Towards Using Human-Computer Interaction Research for Advancing Intelligent Built Environments: A Review

2020-11-12
For many years, primitive building components that are almost entirely transparent with their simple logic and physical interfaces (i.e., light switches, operable windows) provided occupants sophisticated opportunities to regulate indoor environmental conditions including temperature, lighting, and air quality. However, as buildings are expected to incorporate more automated services, intelligent applications, and artificial intelligence in the near future along with the improvements in the field, it is foreseen that conventional touch-input modalities will be subjected to change and there will be a radical transition in the way people interact with the built environment. The field of human-computer interaction (HCI), which is a multidisciplinary research domain focusing on human aspects of the developments in computer technology, holds a great potential to assert its expertise for creating human-centered solutions in the process of integrating novel technological applications to buildings. The main aim of this research, therefore, is to understand and assess how the accumulation of knowledge in the HCI research field can be utilized in studying new interaction modalities in intelligent built environments. In this direction, it is intended to review the applicable research methodologies that can be derived from the HCI research community to envision the gradual change in human experiences with and within the buildings alongside the advancements in information, communication, sensor, and actuation technologies.

Optimizing the fenestration of typical Turkish school building with respect to daylight and thermal performance
Dilber Kılıçarslan, Damla; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2013)
The aim of this study is the maximization of the occupant comfort with the minimization of the energy consumption for artificial lighting, heating and cooling in typical Turkish school buildings through the better design of the fenestrations which were predetermined with a directive called “Eğitim Yapıları Mimari Proje Hazırlanması Genel İlkeleri” i.e. the “General Principles For Preparing Architectural Projects For Educational Buildings” as a monotype regardless of orientation and climate. The study was co...
Arayüz Dönüşümü: Gelecekteki İnsan-Bina Etkileşimleri
Topak, Fatih; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (2021-01-01)
Binalar, dünyadaki toplam enerji kullanımının yaklaşık %40'ından sorumludur ve bu oran, araştırmacıları yapı sistemlerinin işletilmesi ve kullanılması için yeni yollar üzerinde çalışmaya iten ciddi çevresel kaygılara yol açmaktadır. Akıllı binaların birçok yenilikçi özelliğe sahip son teknoloji ürünleriyle donatılı olacağı değerlendirildiğinde, akıllı binaların insanlarla arasındaki etkileşimlerin geleneksel binalardan farklı olacağı öngörülmektedir. Uzun yıllar boyunca, basit mantık ve fiziksel ara yüzleri...
Ethics for industrial design : an ethico-political critique of sustaninability in industrial design
Şişman, Osman; Kurtgözü, Aren Emre; Department of Industrial Design (2005)
This thesis analyses the concept of sustainability as applied and reflected in industrial design practice in a theoretical way. The discourses on sustainability in general are explored in terms of ecology, economics and politics. The underlying motives resulting in unsustainable ways of production and consumption practices are attempted to be located in contemporary society.
An inquiry into the ontology of responsiveness: assessing embodiment and human-machine interaction in responsive environments
Uçar Kırmızıgül, Başak; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2011)
Advances in communication and information technologies, as well as recent developments in computer technology, material research and sensor networks instigate the studies on active and dynamic environments, which call for the participation of the human and the machine in the definition of responsiveness in architecture. The thesis aims to provide for an ontological inquiry on responsiveness and responsive environments by undertaking an overview of the extensive interest in the responsive experience in archi...
An investigation into building occupant behavior of different household typologies in architecture
Erol Ağırsoy, Meliha İpek; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2022-2)
Humans who directly interact with the built environment are a significant parameter of the architectural design process. The uncertainty in occupant behavior is a variable parameter of sustainability in architecture. Human building interaction affects energy consumption and creates an unpredicted result for the building's calculated energy use. The interaction between the occupant and the building is significant for establishing new areas of architectural inquiry. The study aims to observe the influence of ...
