- Abstract
- Comfort, satisfaction, health, and well-being are recurring terms in today’s’ scientific research and design practice in the field of the built environment. However, within the pressing agendas driven by priorities of energy-efficiency and sustainability, they are often used almost interchangeably and are seldom ascribed a precise meaning. Instead of attempting the unlikely definition of a comprehensive new inter-disciplinary framework that can address the complexity associated with these notions, this paper aims to investigate the different boundaries of application of each of the above terms. In so doing, it outlines some of the avenues of research enquiry and design practice that can contribute to achieving a more comfortable, healthy, sustainable and, ultimately, regenerative built environment.
