As ever-more processing is crammed into smaller, lighter and cheaper devices, it was only a matter of time before people would be able to wear them as they go about their everyday lives.<\/p>\n<p>I am wearing a smart watch as I write this, which is collecting all kinds of information about my movements, the amount of exercise that I take, my heart rate and more. This information can then be transmitted to another device or computer. It can also tell me when, for example, I get a phone call or email. This shows how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/bsria-wearables-wellbeing-in-buildings\/48198\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wearables<\/a> can transmit information in two directions: information about the wearer can be shared with the outside world, while the same wearable updates the wearer on what is happening in the wider world.<\/p>\n<h3>Comfort in buildings is \u201chot\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps not surprisingly, it hasn\u2019t taken long for people to find ways in which wearables could be used to improve the inter-relationship between buildings on the one hand, and the people who live or work in them, or visit them.<\/p>\n<p>One factor that is giving this movement legs is the growing emphasis on comfort and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/indoor-environmental-quality\/79042\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wellbeing in buildings<\/a>, and the attempts to find ways that building technology can contribute to this. But how does one measure wellbeing, let alone optimise it? One way, of course, is to ask people and there is good evidence that the mere fact of being consulted can increase people\u2019s satisfaction and potentially their performance.<\/p>\n<p>However, as anyone who fills in surveys will know, this can also become a tiresome distraction. So what if my watch can work out whether I am tired or too hot or too cold and tell the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/bsria-smart-connected-hvac\/54427\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HVAC system<\/a>, which can then adjust ventilation or temperature in my area without my having to ask?<\/p>\n<h3>Use (and misuse) of wearables<\/h3>\n<p>It would also provide objective information about the physical wellbeing of people in buildings, which would potentially be both more precise and more objective than what you might learn by asking them. This immediately raises some challenging questions. The most obvious one relates to data privacy. Where data is shared with a building system, what control can there or should there be over its being seen or used by the people managing the building or even by employers?<\/p>\n<p>If I am seen to be \u201cfalling asleep\u201d (or worse) at work, could this lead to intrusive questions about my private life? At the very least, there would need to be clear and accepted rules about who can use this data and for what purposes, and what procedures are required to secure it against illegitimate access or use.<\/p>\n<p>Experience suggests that, if the wearer has a positive incentive to share their data then they are more likely to opt in to a scheme where wearable data is shared. The fact that most of us now, almost half consciously, share a huge amount of personal information via our phones or PCs is an indication of how much people might be willing to share when there is something in it for them. Employees could be incentivised by stressing the health benefits of smart wearables, while customers could be attracted by special promotions relevant to their interests.<\/p>\n<h3>Making the building respond in the right way<\/h3>\n<p>There is also a practical hurdle to jump over. If I have detailed information about the state of say 200 people in my building then this data will be of limited use unless the building system is granular and responsive enough to fine-tune conditions to meet individual preferences. Sensors will need to locate individuals accurately and, more importantly, the HVAC or lighting system needs to be capable of providing very localised conditions which can then follow a person round a building.<\/p>\n<p>Without this granularity, data provided by wearables will have more limited value, for example in setting a temperature that meets \u201caverage\u201d preferences for a whole floor of a building.<\/p>\n<p>BSRIA has already held two highly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsria.com\/uk\/information-training\/events\/calendar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">successful workshops<\/a> on the subject of wearables and will be monitoring the development of this technology. The technology is definitely becoming available.<\/p>\n<h3>Wearables create and maintain a healthy workplace<\/h3>\n<p>Ultimately, wearables provide valuable hard data about employees\u2019 health. If the data is studied along with qualitative data gathered through occupant surveys, a comprehensive picture of the workplace can be established. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsria.com\/uk\/news\/article\/what-do-we-know-about-wellbeing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BSRIA Occupant Wellbeing (BOW) survey<\/a> can be used along with data from wearables to indicate whether, and to what extent, employees\u2019 health is correlated to and affected by the physical factors of the workplace. This information can help building owners and operators maintain and control their buildings better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Michelle Agha-Hossein<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Building Performance Lead, BSRIA Sustainable Construction Group<\/p>\n<p>Building Services Research &amp; Information Association (BSRIA)<\/p>\n<p>Tel: +44 1344 465600<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:consultancy@bsria.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">consultancy@bsria.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsria.com\/uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.bsria.com\/uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Please note: this is a commercial profile.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How long before your building \u201cknows\u201d more about you than you do yourself?

When she\u2019s not working hard on cranking out first-class content for our online viewers to enjoy, she\u2019s keeping our social media lively and up to date\u2026 you could call her a social media guru? We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
