What is it about?
"Smart building" technology, such as environmental sensors, enables workplace practitioners to measure and understand office performance in more depth than ever before. In this paper, we consider whether and how the output of these sensors can be used to predict employees' subjective experiences of comfort.

Why is it important?
It is predicted that smart building technology will grow exponentially in the coming years. It is important to understand how this technology can be most effectively used to support human wellbeing.
Perspectives
In this paper, we used a case study at a single office to provide proof of concept for a methodology to integrate "building analytics" (i.e. sensor data) and "human analytics" (i.e. subjective experiences of comfort). As indoor environmental sensors become increasingly prevalent in years to come, we hope that other researchers will replicate our methodology, so that a large database with a diverse group of workplaces and workplace users can be built up.
