“…Therefore, seeing the information flyers was not enough as a reminder to get occupants to vote (Figure 8). Rittenbruch et al (2015) noticed similar behaviour in their study on a tangible OVS, which occupants used upon arrival/departure to/from their office desk. They also noted that occupants reported that the device was inconspicuous and "forgot" it was there after a while.…”

“…This problem, denoted in HCI literature as "interaction blindness" (Hosio et al, 2016), is also observed in studies with interactive displays, i.e., users are unaware of the interactive ability of a display assuming it is only broadcasting information (Hosio et al, 2016). Rittenbruch et al (2015) solved this problem by designing the OVS to emit a discrete sound which acted as a reminder to occupants to vote. This reminder was received positively by the occupants.…”

Occupants can provide valuable feedback on the indoor environmental quality of buildings. Research on occupant voting systems (OVS) has demonstrated that apps or electronic devices can act as viable tools for collecting long-term feedback from occupants. However, previous research has only to a limited extent explored occupants’ interaction with OVS and the impact it might have on the reliability of the collected feedback. The present paper presents three case studies on applying a tangible OVS, denoted TiAQ, to collect feedback on thermal and indoor air quality (IAQ) in office spaces. The main objective of the present study was first to explore occupants’ interaction with TiAQ and their motivation. Second, identifying whether feedback collected with TiAQ could represent occupants’ comfort and discomfort with the thermal environment and IAQ. Thirdly, identifying challenges related to occupants’ interaction with TiAQ that might affect the representativeness of collected feedback. The present study was conducted at three office buildings in up to 7 months and demonstrated that TiAQ was suitable for collecting long-term feedback on occupants’ comfort and discomfort with the thermal environment. On average, one vote was cast per day per occupant. Additionally, in one of the office buildings, 60% of occupants reported to have interacted with TiAQ daily or weekly when, e.g., passing the device going to/from the office spaces. Occupants’ expectations of TiAQ and getting “feedback on feedback” need to be further addressed to identify ways to sustain occupants’ long-term use of the device and reduce “ill-willed” interactions.

“…Three control-/FMbased OVS had secondary applications classified as "Social" [52,61,62]. One of the social-based OVS was designed to encourage occupants to reflect on their IEQ and to support negotiation and communication of shared preferences [63]. Whereas another social-based OVS [64] was designed to aid occupants to find seats in areas with indoor conditions that matched occupants' comfort preferences.…”

“…The social-based systems asked for feedback on noise, light and J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f thermal environment. They also asked about miscellaneous parameters such as "Socialconnectedness" [63], which the authors of the study interpreted as occupants desire for more social interaction with co-occupants.…”

“…[53,55]) did not use localisation as the OVS were physically attached to a specific location. The social-based OVS designed as a physical device [63] or tablet [65] did not use localisation, whereas the ones designed as smartphone apps used manual localisation [64] or automatic localisation using different mobile signals [65].…”
