Abstract
A quality aspect of buildings pertains to their disposition to provide their inhabitants with effective means of indoor environmental control. Most buildings incorporate a number of elements and devices meant to influence indoor environmental conditions (i.e., windows, blinds, luminaires, radiators, fans). Inhabitants may be provided with different interfaces to operate these devices. In contrast to some other aspects of building performance (e.g., energy efficiency), there is a lack of systematic procedures for objective evaluation of buildings' indoor environmental control devices and their human interfaces. The present contribution entails some general thoughts on the path toward definition and implementation of such procedures.
