Human-Centered Energy Interfaces in Smart Architectural Spaces

In recent years, the increasing deployment of smart buildings and renewable energy systems has drawn growing attention to the role of human interaction within energy management frameworks. Despite significant technical advancements in hybrid solar energy systems and building energy management, many existing solutions still rely on purely technical user interfaces, which fail to actively incorporate user behavior and experience into the energy optimization process. This paper proposes an interdisciplinary framework for the design of Human-Centered Energy Interfaces in smart architectural spaces, inspired by principles of Green User Interface (Green UI) design, digital art, and sustainable architecture. The proposed approach integrates performance data from building-integrated hybrid solar systems with meaningful visual and interactive layers, aiming to enhance user energy awareness, consumption perception, and active participation in energy-related decisions. Conceptual analysis and simulation-based evaluations indicate that human-centered energy interfaces can contribute to reduced energy consumption, more balanced load distribution, and improved sustainability indicators in smart buildings. The findings highlight the potential of a purposeful integration of energy engineering, architectural design, and artistic interface design as an effective pathway toward the next generation of building energy systems.
