“…However, large gaps remain in our understanding of how particular nudges can influence people's choices, especially in the realm of real estate [48,49] and even more so when it comes to the use of technology to personalize nudges based on user behavior [50,51]. In a recent experiment, Peeters [21] showed that in an emergency situation, people tend to follow the information that they receive when escaping a real estate object. The research concludes that the integrity of the information is of crucial importance as to avoid misguiding people and leading them towards unwanted behavior.…”

“…For instance, environmental improvements in buildings are currently mainly sought through technical means. However, behavioral social science shows that the extent to which these technical means can improve building performance is highly dependent on user behavior [21]. As such, this paper suggests incorporating user wellbeing in the conceptualization of the social component of ESG for real estate rather than simply looking at compliance with labor laws and human rights.…”

Investors are currently obliged to take environment, social, and governance (ESG) issues into consideration as part of their fiduciary duty. As such, it becomes increasingly important to identify sustainable investments that also hold financial value. A sector where this is especially underdeveloped is real estate. This has a lot to do with the obfuscated conceptualization of ESG. The article identifies key gaps in the literature and practice and provides a framework to further the understanding of how ESG factors can add societal and financial value in the real estate sector. A key premise of the article is that the user in the building is grossly overlooked. Drawing on insights from behavioral social science and environmental psychology, the paper explains the role of the user in improving buildings’ ESG, also taking into account the investment value. To conclude, the article makes the case that the transition to user-centered smart real estate is the solution to improving both the environmental (E) and social (S) sustainability of buildings, as well as their investment value. Therefore, practitioners and academics are encouraged to critically evaluate and contextualize the ESG framework they are using as well as the extent to which users are considered and smart technology is employed.

“…When a fire alarm is, generally, fire watch personnel call the phone alarm, the use of a manual alarm is sometimes due to human factors and may lead to omissions and false alarms or delayed alarms [4][5]. Whether the fire can be detected in a timely manner plays a crucial role in fire fighting, and the delayed alarm time often brings significant losses to people's lives and property safety [6]. Fire monitoring is mainly based on fire alarm systems, and the research focuses on reducing the false alarm rate of fire monitoring and nipping fire in the bud [7][8].…”

To reduce the losses caused by fire, this paper proposes an intelligent fire monitoring system based on multi-sensor data fusion. Through the design of the temperature, smoke and flame sensors, based on the weighted least squares WLS and improved fuzzy support degree of similar sensors and dissimilar sensors data fusion, respectively, in the ZigBee wireless network based on the design of the fire remote monitoring and control alarm for monitoring, and add the local storage and emergency module. In addition, whether the router nodes work on the ZigBee wireless network during the fire test depends on multi-sensor data fusion. The test shows that the node communication distance is extended and can reach the acceptable requirements in the range of 70m, the highest probability of fire occurrence is 0.92, the lowest probability is 0.14, the overall probability of occurrence is in the range of 0.4 to 0.6, and the error between the predicted value of the probability of occurrence of the fire and the expected value is within ±0.05.
