What is it about?

Considering the recent achievements of social robots in naturally interacting and communicating with humans by following social behaviors, this study introduced a new human-robot interaction (HRI) approach for collecting Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) responses from building occupants.

Why is it important?

Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) is essential to evaluate and enhance indoor environmental quality (IEQ) that supports human health and productivity in building environments. Reliable POE data can help support the design and development of building control approaches and design performance diagnosis for the comfort, safety, and energy efficiency of future buildings.

Perspectives

Our findings demonstrate the potential of human-robot interaction approaches for improving POE engagement and reveal the need for further systematic characterization of social robots-based POE designs and implementations.
