The Well Living Laboratory: A Facility for Investigating the Impact of the Indoor Environment on Human Comfort, Health and Productivity

Indoor environments greatly impact human comfort, health, and productivity. To investigate and quantify this impact, a highly controllable and reconfigurable laboratory, the Well Living Lab, was designed and built to simulate real-world office and residential spaces. This presentation provides an overview of the experimental capabilities of the Well Living Lab, which include an integrated and scalable building control system, environmental and biometric sensing, and experiment management system. An overview of on-going and planned human-subject research is also provided.
