Overview

Wellbeing-oriented intelligent buildings depend on more than sensors or controls in isolation. As lead author and framework developer, Ramyar coordinated a 17-author roadmap spanning sensing, analytics, controls, occupant interfaces, interoperability, data governance, and adoption.

Interactive tool · transition roadmap

Navigate from evidence to scalable implementation.

Select a system focus and a transition stage. The navigator surfaces the decision question, required evidence, and next validation gate.

Decision questionCan the envelope package perform as an integrated prototype?
Required evidencePrototype monitoring, constructability review, and boundary-condition testing.
Next gateDefine validation criteria across climate, typology, and operation.

Conceptual navigator based on the ET4WIBE roadmap structure. It organizes implementation questions; it is not a certification or technology-readiness score.

From fragmented technologies to a shared problem

The paper first defines well-being as a multidimensional building outcome, then links persistent implementation challenges to the technologies and institutional conditions needed to address them. The final manuscript figures preserve that reasoning chain rather than presenting a technology list without context.

Figure 1 positions building technologies within a broader, multidimensional account of well-being.
Figure 2 makes the paper’s conceptual sequence and synthesis method explicit.

Enabling-technology stack

The stack organizes dependencies from sensing and communication through computation, decisions, interfaces, and building response. Interoperability, privacy, governance, and usability cut across those layers and determine whether technical capability becomes a dependable occupant-facing system.

Figure 3 organizes sensing, communication, computation, decision, interface, and building-response dependencies.

Research and application roadmap

The staged roadmap moves from foundational data and interoperable infrastructure toward adaptive, accountable, and usable systems. Expert-derived priorities are paired with validation gates so progress can be evaluated rather than assumed. The manuscript remains submitted; the publicly available record is the SSRN preprint.

Publication status and roadmap

The manuscript is submitted to Building and Environment, and the SSRN preprint is the current public record. The expert-derived synthesis establishes a shared technology roadmap, implementation stack, and validation sequence for translating occupant-centric systems into dependable building applications.
