Smart grids, smart cities, interior spaces and human behaviour: An interactive development process

Architecture starts from internal spaces; as the nearest component to the human, the interior architecture space plays the linking role between direct human needs, buildings and cities. Interior architecture space features are changing as a result of the digital revolution, that is, the age of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the expected growth of connected objects as part of the Internet of Things (IoT) This research aims to shed light on these changes, especially those related to interior space features and the evolution of human behaviour, by reviewing the main benefits of these changes on data, communication, cyber spaces, and energy efficiency. Moreover, it reveals the new control features of these developments in interior space.
