Metrology for Living Environment and Comfort

Dear Colleagues,

Humans spend up to 80% of their lives in built and living environments. New technological research focuses on the design, implementation, and development of both built and living environments considering the occupants’ needs, well-being, and surroundings, as well as climate change impacts and energy-saving solutions. In light of these trends, this Special Issue welcomes papers presenting innovative metrology techniques for designing, constructing, and operating an efficient, safe, comfortable, and healthy built environment, including active and assisted living (AAL). Innovative solutions can be based on the IoT paradigm, BIM, sensors and sensor networks, cutting-edge signal and image processing, structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and interoperability standards.
