Laure Dobigny discusses some of the issues of smart buildings from a socio-environmental perspective.

For her, the problem is that, most of the time, the building is designed with the imaginary that the ideal "user" of the building is one that is invisible and has no agency on the building.

The building becomes a kind of autonomous organism that is parasited by users.

It becomes very difficult for people to appropriate the building and that have to resort to various tricks to arrive at situations that are satisfactory for them (tricking sensors to switch the light off, block windows, etc), which is not always possible.

This distances people from the technical part of the building and the environmental considerations that were taken into account.

Because there cannot be any continuity of practices between their environmental behaviors at home and in such a building, appropriation of these buildings and ecological practices becomes very hard.

Sounds like a classic "engineer thinks they know best" issue...
