This paper describes factors of material environment that are particularly important for employees comfort on the example of a selected University. The main goal of the presented research was to identify factors of work comfort related to material and social-living conditions of work and their assessment based on the opinion of employees in a selected institution. A two-stage study conducted in 2016–2018 among 440 university employees made it possible to identify factors relevant to the comfort of work, mainly related to material conditions. Based on the opinions of university employees (questionnaires and interviews), problem areas were identified in the scope of shaping comfortable working conditions.

“…The physical working environment has a big impact on how well and happy employees do their jobs. Most companies try to make their workplaces more comfortable, and the number of companies using ergonomics to do so has been growing (Soewardi et al, 2016). By using good ergonomics, workers' health and safety could be improved, which would lead to more work being done (Ahmadi et al, 2015).…”

Background: The modern history of ergonomics can be traced back to the world war from 1939 to 1945. From the 1960s to the 1990s, there were many changes made to ergonomics. Some of these were cognitive ergonomics, organizational ergonomics, positive ergonomics, and spiritual ergonomics. Ergonomics is becoming more of an issue in organizations in both developed and developing countries since the rise of occupational safety and health. Today, every company in the world puts more thought into making their workplaces safe. Objective: The goal of this study is to fill in the gaps in the evidence between ergonomics and employee well-being, focusing on ergonomics, ergonomic practices, and employee performance. Methods: This study uses an exploratory research design and gathers information from secondary sources to back up the title. Research papers are carefully chosen from scientific databases like Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar by making criteria for each part to make sure the idea goes into depth and analyzes the role of ergonomics in improving employee performance. Results: Most research is done on physical ergonomics and organizational ergonomics. When people do research on ergonomics, they don't think much about how people act and think. Most ergonomics research is also done in industrial and developed countries, which makes sense. When it comes to research and use of ergonomics, developing countries are a long way behind. Most small businesses in developing countries don't care about ergonomics in the workplace. Conclusion: Accessing and improving ergonomics in the workplace could improve employee performance and productivity while reducing burnout, absenteeism, and turnover rates. So, it's important to study ergonomics more, especially for places like Nepal.

Internet of things is providing us numerous ways to improve our quality of experience by using smart cyber-physical infrastructure systems. Also, due to arrival of LED lighting systems, there is the possibility to improve user's visual comfort at less cost. In our proposed model, by using a fuzzy inference system, used in cyber-physical infrastructure system, we save energy from the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. This saved energy is used to improve the visual comfort of the user. Simulation results show that considering the visual comfort standard of 500 lux instead of 250 lux results in energy savings and ensures visual comfort. Together with the preservation of thermal comfort increases the overall users' comfort. Since research confirms that users' improved comfort results in up to 14% of increased productivity. Our model is unique in the sense that using fuzzy logic, indirectly improved the users' productivity. By using our fuzzy logic controller on electric equipment, we can achieve improved users' performance without paying any extra cost.INDEX TERMS home energy management system, cyber-physical infrastructure system, visual comfort, thermal comfort, internet-of-things, energy savings, fuzzy logic controller
