AB  - In recent years, research has emerged to quantitatively and qualitatively understand occupants’ interactions with buildings. However, there has been surprisinglylittle research on building interfaces and how their design, context (e.g., location), and underlying logic impact their usability and occupants’ perceived control, aswell as the resulting comfort and energy performance. Research is needed to better understand how occupants interact with building interfaces in both commercialand residential applications; both applications are important to address as there are many differences in interface types, level of control and understanding, and evenexpectations of engagement. This paper provides a cursory review and discussion of select common building interfaces: windows, window shades/blinds, thermostats,and lighting controls. The goal of this paper is to review literature related to these human-building interfaces to explore interface characteristics, currentdesign and use challenges, and relationships between building interfaces and occupants. Human-building interface interactions are complex, more research is neededto understand design, use, and characteristics. Common themes emerged throughout the literature review to explain occupant interactions (or lack of interactions)with building interfaces, which included thermal and visual comfort, ease and access of control, interface/control placement, poor interface/control design, lack ofunderstanding, and social-behavioral dynamics.
