This paper also presents two additional investigations. This research implements an automated approach to collect and register simultaneous thermal and visual images and read the facial temperature in different regions. To capitalize potentials and address some existing limitations, new solutions are required to bring a more holistic view toward non-intrusive thermal scanning by leveraging the benefit of machine learning and image processing. However, the state-of-the-art methods need additional modifications to become more reliable.
Sick building syndrome skin#
There is increasing attention to infrared thermal camera usage in public buildings because of their non-invasive quality in reading the human skin temperature. The emergence of thermal imaging techniques provides an excellent opportunity for contactless data gathering with no interruption in occupant conditions and activities. To that end, a real-time feedback system is needed to provide data about occupants' comfort conditions that can be used to control the building's heating, cooling, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Recent research is trying to leverage occupants' demand in the building's control loop to consider individuals' well-being and the buildings' energy savings. Finally, the study stresses the role of built environment and concludes that ongoing research towards tackling SBS and developing healthy indoor environments should not be limited to a single formula as any health-related building design approach is dependent on several interacting factors. Several negative effects of SBS are identified and potential solutions are advocated. This study provides a review about SBS symptoms.
While the concepts of intelligent, smart and sustainable buildings have gained considerable attention during recent decades, there is now increasing attention being given to designing healthy buildings. This paper focuses on reviewing the current state of knowledge on building sickness syndrome which has been prevalent as a building illness since the 1970s especially in offices and schools. Besides physical health is also related to psychological well-being because the human body is one interactive biological system. Sick building syndrome (SBS) is a collection of factors that can negatively affect physical health in several ways. Health and well-being are vitally important aspects of people centric building design and are the roots of productivity.
