AB - This multi-site experimental study investigated the Hue-Heat Hypothesis (HHH), which posits that light hues can influence human thermal perception, as well as broader cross-modal interactions between visual and thermal domains. Across 464 experimental sessions in eight test rooms around the world, participants were exposed to varied thermal conditions (∼20 °C, ∼24 °C, ∼26 °C, and ∼28 °C) and typical white-light Correlated Color Temperatures (CCT, warm light: ∼3000 K; neutral: ∼4000 K; cool light: ∼6000 K) from LED sources (horizontal illuminance: ∼500 lx). The study assessed thermal, visual, and overall perceptions. Results revealed that thermal sensation and preference were predominantly influenced by thermal conditions, gender, and the laboratory setting, indicating that no statistically significant effects were found in support of the HHH. Similarly, visual perceptions were influenced by lighting conditions but not by the thermal environment. For instance, cool light was perceived as brighter than warm light, leading participants to prefer brighter light under warm light hues. Ultimately, this research revealed the significant challenges of interlaboratory experiments in this field, as local climate and test-room characteristics complicate both the conduct and the standardization of data analysis. Our findings highlight both the limited role of white-light CCT in shaping thermal sensations and the methodological challenges of multi-site comfort research, underscoring the need for careful data harmonization and context-aware analyses in future international collaborations.

AB - Understanding cross-modal environmental perception is essential for improving occupant well-being and human-centric building design. This paper presents an open-access, multi-site database developed under the IEA-EBC Annex 79 project to test the Hue-Heat Hypothesis (HHH), which hypothesizes that light hue may influence thermal perceptions. The database comprises 543 experimental rounds conducted in eight laboratories across six countries and diverse climate zones, following a shared, rigorously designed protocol. During summer and winter campaigns, participants were exposed to controlled thermal environments and counterbalanced lighting conditions (neutral, reddish, bluish). The database includes detailed metadata on environmental variables, physiological measurements (i.e., heart rate and skin temperature), and self-reported perceptual responses. It also provides standardized technical documentation for each test room, including the detailed experimental protocol and translated survey instruments. All materials are available on the Open Science Framework under the “Multi-site Hue-Heat-Hypothesis Testing” repository. This resource supports research into multi-domain human comfort, enabling analysis of cross-modal and combined effects on human perception and physiological reactions.

AB - Residential buildings, as one of the main contributors to climate change, are regularly in the target of climate change mitigation. The energy crisis in has accelerated the need for cutting natural gas consumption of the sector, hence the necessity for short and middle term measures increased drastically. The focus of this paper is to introduce recent research efforts where possible actions were investigated that could swiftly tackle the problem and lower residential heating energy usage. © 2023 IBPSA.All rights reserved.

Differences in experimental design, methods, and contextual variables specific to the location and test room features, result in experimental outcomes that are difficult to generalize and compare. This paper presents an international Round Robin Test activity consisting in the replication of the same procedure in different test rooms worldwide to capture contextual variables effects on human-centric studies and to deepen multi-domain human comfort topics. The campaign focused on the hue-heat hypothesis and investigated the effect of coloured electric-light on human thermal responses (both perceptual and physiological) with the aim of (i) analysing the existence of cross-effects between visual and thermal comfort domains and (ii) correlating physiological signals variations to different testing conditions. Overall, 76 subjects were involved in four laboratories during a summer campaign. Each subject was exposed to a controlled and fixed thermal environment while varying three lighting conditions throughout a single test. No significant crossed effects were verified. The same procedure will be repeated in winter to account for seasonal variability and identify new research questions in the framework of this promising cooperation that will be extended to a broader network of facilities. © Healthy Buildings Europe 2023.
