This research, titled 'Impact of indoor environmental quality on occupant well-being and comfort: A review of the literature', reviews multi-objective optimisation studies on energy consumption, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality in low-energy buildings, driven by international energy policies.

Analyzing 82 studies from 2013-2022, the review highlights commonly investigated objectives, design variables, and performance metrics. Most studies targeted all three objectives, focusing primarily on office and residential buildings. 

System-related variables were most examined, while building and occupant-related variables were less explored. 

Simulation tools coupled with optimisation algorithms, particularly genetic algorithms, were the most common approach. Future research is expected to benefit from advancements in artificial intelligence technologies for optimising building design and operations.
