Joining the dots: Connecting the social determinants and physiological effects of air quality in offices

Dr. Steven Snow's talk for the University of Southampton Data Science seminar series.

Summary
This talk discusses the user-centred research from the REFRESH project, which joins the dots between the individual and social factors that affect perception of IAQ, and the human physiological responses to changes in air quality. This involves (1) physiological measurement such as (EEG) to detect the effect of air quality on drowsiness, (2) qualitative methods to understanding the social factors which influence air quality in offices, and (3) designing ambient technology which visualises CO2 of an office– an indicator of indoor air quality.
