DESCRIPTION:
As this is of growing importance for building design and for building performance optimization, the book aims to provide a sound scientific basis for experimental studies in this field. In this context, different experimental environments and data collection methods (in-situ, laboratories, surveys) are introduced and discussed in terms of their suitability for the respective research question. A comprehensive overview of sensors for monitoring environmental and also behavioral and action-related quantities helps to set up an experiment. Furthermore, data management and rep

Furthermore, data management and reporting is addressed. In this context, different experimental environments and data collection methods (in-situ, laboratories, surveys) are introduced and discussed in terms of their suitability for the respective research question. This is followed by more general questions about developing an appropriate research method and experimental design. The book concludes with
