D^2EPC – Integration of Human Comfort Indicators in a Holistic Framework of Next-Generation Energy Performance Certificates

This study aimed to identify human comfort and well-being key performance indicators which could be included in the next-generation energy performance certificates and extract insights on the occupants’ comfort in the two pilot buildings with the minimum available information via a non-intrusive (to the occupants) procedure. The proposed set of human comfort and well-being indicators deals with the aspects of thermal comfort, visual comfort and indoor air quality. Only quantitative key performance indicators were considered within the study, as their calculation is based on acquired data from the pilots’ IoT infrastructure.
