Long description

This is a systemic toolkit for designers as product/system and service providers to revitalize the existing methodologies by pioneering co-designing interventions towards better experience and sustainable behavior change on built environment. Having a significant role in contributing to climate change, buildings need to lead sustainability transition in cities. However, realizing sustainability in buildings and urban environment cannot be managed by excluding the behavioral aspects, while a building can only be sustainable to the extent that its sustainable technologies are used efficiently. This can only be facilitated through a multi-stakeholder design process that enables behavior change towards sustainability without compromising occupant experience. Accordingly, this system toolkit provides a platform for designers that refuses the outworn methodologies, by reframing the questions, reimagining the designs and reconnecting the actors. the objective of the designers is to provide PSSs for facilitating sustainable occupant behavior and enhanced experience in buildings . The concepts of behavior and experience in social-psychological context and maps the key concepts of both to propose a co-design framework. The proposed co-design toolkit and framework aims to enhance occupant experience for behavior change towards sustainability in buildings by leveraging design decision-making process.
