	During his presentation at the BSRIA Annual Conference in September 2021, Kas Mohammed, VP of Digital Energy for Schneider Electric stressed how buildings of the future could potentially leverage an all digital, all electric world to provide people centric environments that are sustainable, resilient and hyper-resilient. Mohammed said, "These buildings would incorporate smart technology to support building occupants in their efforts to be collaborative, comfortable, flexible, healthy, effective and productive. The technology could also monitor occupant levels and health indicators to improve occupant experiences while semi-autonomously identifying issues and taking actions."

−	The concept of human centric design was informally introduced by the American industrial designer ~~named~~ Henry Dreyfuss.

In his 1955 book [https://www.designersreviewofbooks.com/2009/05/designing-for-people/ Designing for People], Dreyfuss explains that industrial design can evolve by beginning and ending with people.

−	He stresses the importance of “habits, physical dimensions and psychological impulses” as well as their financial requirements. In ~~[https://www.designersreviewofbooks.com/2009/05/designing-for-people/~~ Designing for People], Dreyfuss ~~writes~~, “we must conceive not only a satisfactory design, but also one that incorporates that indefinable appeal to assure purchase. The Greek philosopher Protagoras had a phrase for it, ‘Man is the measure of all things.'”	+	He stresses the importance of “habits, physical dimensions and psychological impulses” as well as their financial requirements. In Designing for People, Dreyfuss wrote, “we must conceive not only a satisfactory design, but also one that incorporates that indefinable appeal to assure purchase. The Greek philosopher Protagoras had a phrase for it, ‘Man is the measure of all things.'”

	This human centric philosophy of industrial design influenced the work of Stanford University Professor John E. Arnold, who applied Dreyfuss’s methods to his academic approach to creative problem solving for business and industry. In his lectures, Arnold explained that a “creative engineer” combines the technical skills of engineering with a more comprehensive human-centric approach (even more so than Dreyfuss’s industrial design example). In the book, [https://www.inist.org/library/1959.John_E_Arnold.Creative_Engineering.pdf Creative Engineering: Promoting Innovation by Thinking Differently], Arnold proposed a design process that solved problems through creativity but required innovative thinking through the application of the human-centric approach.

	Some designers are creating workplaces that elevate the human experience by basing the design on how people can, need and want to perform tasks, rather than expecting people to adjust and accommodate their behaviours to the environment. When applied to product development, human centric design can result in components that adjust to people so people don’t have to adjust to products.
