Integrated Comfort Engineering Laboratory
LaboratoryThe Integrated Comfort Engineering Laboratory (ICE) at EPFL focuses on achieving energy sufficiency in buildings while ensuring occupants' comfort and well-being through advanced design and control of adaptive thermal systems. Research areas include personalized indoor thermal conditioning, smart Machine Learning-based controls, and adaptive hot water production. ICE contributes to the global goal of reducing energy consumption in buildings, with a particular focus on Switzerland's 2000-Watt Society target by 2050. The lab's primary research tool is a climatic chamber that can modulate indoor environments for studying personalized thermal comfort and occupant-centered controls.
