Immersive Experiences of Building Physics Analysis to Improve Human Connection to Technical Data

Almost all applications of Building Physics are underscored by a desire to optimise amenity for the people that experience our designs. Despite this, the communication of Building Physics analysis is often conducted using scientific presentation methods. These media are inherently detached from the perspective of end users, leading to a disconnect between the technical analysis and the key driver. The virtualisation technologies adopted in this work are used to generate immersive environments that provide improved contextualisation of built environment design. Designers and stakeholders are able to experience Building Physics analysis from the perspective of end users, connecting the technical analysis to its key driver, occupant amenity.
