Occupant-in-the-loop: VR as pre-occupancy evaluation tools for climate adaptive design practices
Ongoing global warming, compounded by local overheating in cities and buildings, poses growing risks to occupant health, comfort, and well-being. Conventional design approaches rely heavily on predictive simulation, where occupant preferences and adaptive responses are typically simplified through assumptions based on average populations. This overlooks substantial individual differences in perception and behaviour, contributing to persistent gaps between predicted and actual building performance beyond simply energy performance. Although virtual reality (VR) is increasingly recognised as a promising tool for pre-occupancy evaluation …
