Building Comfort Insights
Visualising patterns of discomfort across indoor environments
Overview
This dashboard presents insights gathered from real environmental sensor data collected throughout 2019 in modern indoor workspaces. It brings to light subtle discomforts often overlooked—like heat spikes during the afternoon, elevated noise levels that disrupt focus, or lighting dips that drain energy. These conditions may seem minor at first but can significantly impact wellbeing, concentration, and overall productivity over time. By visualising these patterns, this tool helps facilities teams and decision-makers intervene early, make evidence-based improvements, and design spaces that truly support the people within them.
Temperature
Comfort isn’t just about feeling warm or cool—it’s about staying sharp and energised throughout the day. When temperatures swing too far in either direction, our mood and productivity suffer. This visual helps you catch patterns early—before an unexpected heat spike or cold draft derails your focus.
Noise Levels
Constant background noise may go unnoticed, but it quietly chips away at our concentration. Whether it's the hum of conversations or the clatter of office life, this chart reveals when soundscapes support deep work—and when they're causing unnecessary stress.
Lighting
Lighting sets the rhythm of a space. Too dim and your energy dips; too harsh and eyestrain creeps in. By uncovering shifts in brightness across the day, this graph empowers you to create a workspace that feels bright, balanced, and in tune with your natural rhythm.
