DESCRIPTION:\nOpen to 30 students from 6 universities in Switzerland and S
 outh Korea\, the second edition of the ARC-HEST programme will analyze the
  synergy of architectural design\, human factors\, and technologies in the
  office buildings and their combined effect on the indoor environmental qu
 ality. The topic of Summer comfort will be investigated from 22 August to 
 1st September 2022 in Fribourg and the topic of Winter comfort will be stu
 died in Seoul from 6 to17 February 2023. \n\nThe strong traditions\, use o
 f advanced technologies and direction towards a sustainable society\, that
  Switzerland and South Korea share\, pave the way to the international coo
 peration ARC-HEST between two countries to raise awareness about urbanism 
 and related social issues and facilitate solutions inspired by different c
 ultures and policies. Through the collaborative work of Swiss and Korean a
 cademicians and students from different disciplines\, the program aims to 
 comprehensively study the working environment in each country in conjuncti
 on with the local culture and architecture\n\nThe essential part of progra
 mme is the visit of 3 case study buildings by students and the analysis of
  the current state of the building design\, operation\, indoor comfort\, o
 ccupant’s satisfaction\, and behavior by different student groups. The m
 ain task of the student groups is to design a building assessment method\,
  and to collect\, process\, and evaluate data from the existing buildings.
  Based on the findings\, the groups will need to develop innovative soluti
 ons for the improvement of the built indoor environment\, the satisfaction
  of the occupants with the building\, and human-building interaction in th
 e context of the diversity of occupants and architectural design across Sw
 itzerland and South Korea.\n\nWith the support of the Science and Technolo
 gy Office Seoul\, the Smart Living Lab and its three Swiss partner institu
 tions (EPFL\, School of Architecture and Engineering of Fribourg\, and Uni
 versity of Fribourg) founded the academic exchange programme on the issue 
 of sustainability and comfort of the built environment\, together with the
  SungKyunKwan\, EWHA\, and Hanyang Universities from South Korea. The ARC-
 HEST programme was first launched with a Summer School in August 2019 in S
 eoul\, South Korea and was followed by a Winter School in Fribourg in Febr
 uary 2020.
