Adaptive comfort is a concept in building design that seeks to create comfortable indoor environments that can adjust to changing external conditions, occupant preferences, and changing uses. This approach considers the effects of both climate and human activity on the indoor environment, and aims to create an interior environment that is comfortable and energy efficient. Adaptive comfort can be achieved through the use of zoning, natural ventilation, and the intelligent control of heating, cooling, and lighting systems. By using these strategies, a building can be designed to meet occupant comfort needs while conserving energy and reducing carbon emissions.
