Towards Climate-Resilient Buildings: A Statistical Analysis to Identify Crucial Comfort Measurement Parameters for Occupant Well-Being

This paper investigates the critical environmental and physiological parameters required to objectively measure indoor Global Sensation Vote (GSV) for climate-resilient, humancentric buildings. Within the MULTICLIMACT project framework (GA n. 101123538), an integrated measurement campaign monitored 8 office occupants using a tri-modal data acquisition strategy: environmental IoT sensors, wearable physiological devices, and regular subjective perception surveys. Statistical analysis of the mea...

Wearable Sensors for Pediatrics: Evolution, Challenges, and Opportunities in Living Environments

Continuous pediatric monitoring is vital for safety, yet standard cabled instrumentation hinders clinical workflows and parent-infant bonding. Wearable sensors address these drawbacks, driving a paradigm shift toward healthcare decentralization into living environments. By transitioning care to domestic settings, these connected solutions increase family engagement and fill critical technological gaps. However, moving beyond clinical boundaries underscores the need for metrological rigor, as ...

A Sensing Platform for Personal Comfort Model Development and Application Based on Wearable and Environmental Sensors

Personal Comfort Models (PCMs) are emerging as a data-driven alternative to static indoor thermal standards such as ASHRAE 55 and ISO 7730, which rely on population-averaged setpoints and often fail to satisfy individual occupants. This paper presents WEPOP, a multimodal sensing platform for PCM development, combining a wrist-worn wearable device (capturing electrodermal activity (EDA), photoplethysmographic (PPG), and skin temperature) with room environmental sensors. Using the open-access H...
