  Personal data is increasingly important in our lives. We use personal data to quantify our behavior, through health apps or for 'personal branding' and we are also increasingly forced to part with our data to access services.
  With a proliferation of embedded sensors, the built environment is playing a key role in this developing use of data, even though this remains relatively hidden. Buildings are sites for the capture of personal data, such as oyster card gateways or WIFI hotspots. The data is used to adapt building's to people's behavior, for example when a car reader opens a door or occupancy changes the light levels in a building. Increasingly, organisations use this data to understand how buildings are occupied and how communities develop, and data supports design processes, when architects record requirements of their clients, and encode this in Building Information Models (BIM).
  This book brings together a community of researchers and practitioners interested in personal informatics and the design of interactive buildings and spaces, with the aim to foster critical discussion of the future role of personal data in interactions with the built environment.
  People, Personal Data and the Built Environment is ideal for those interested in Architecture, Computer Science and Human Building Interaction.
