Sentient Buildings
This paper explores the concept of Sentient Buildings, with a focus on office environments. This paper involves the energy and comfort challenge of a sentient office building. To support the research, a Sentient Building system was developed and tested. Before system deployment, both quantitative and qualitative literature reviews were conducted. Reflection on the literature review resulted in the development of comprehensive frameworks for sentient buildings and data collection methods. The Sentient Building system uses the concept of system workflow and conditional structure. The findings provide insights into indoor environmental measurements, the system workflow underlying sentient buildings, and a case study on an office building example.

Abstract
This paper explores the concept of Sentient Buildings, with a focus on office environments. This paper involves the energy and comfort challenge of a sentient office building. To support the research, a Sentient Building system was developed and tested. Before system deployment, both quantitative and qualitative literature reviews were conducted. Reflection on the literature review resulted in the development of comprehensive frameworks for sentient buildings and data collection methods. The Sentient Building system uses the concept of system workflow and conditional structure. The findings provide insights into indoor environmental measurements, the system workflow underlying sentient buildings, and a case study on an office building example.
