Despite being extensive, the literature on multi-domain exposures presents heterogeneous methodo-logical approaches and inconsistent study reporting, which hinder direct comparison between studies and meta -analyses. Therefore, in addition to carrying out more multi-domain studies, such investigations need to be designed, conducted, and documented in a systematic and transparent way. With the goal to facilitate and support future multi-domain studies and their meta-analyses, this work provides (1) a range of criteria for multi -domain study design and reporting (i.e., defined as quality criteria), and (2) a critical review of the multi-domain literature based on the described criteria, which can serve as guidelines and recommendations for future studies on the topic. The identified quality criteria encompass study set-up, study deployment and analysis, and study outcome, stressing the importance of adopting a consistent terminology and result reporting style. The developed critical review highlights several shortcomings in the design, deployment, and documentation of multi-domain studies, emphasizing the need for quality improvements of future multi-domain research. The ultimate goal of this work is to consolidate our knowledge on multi-domain exposures for its integration into regulatory resources and guidelines, which are currently dominated by single-domain knowledge.Construction & Building TechnologyEngineering, EnvironmentalEngineering, CivilConstruction & Building TechnologyEngineeringieqhuman comfortcombined effectscross-modal effectstransparent reportingresearch quality assurancedifferent light intensitiesevening dressing behaviorwindow opening behaviorindividual ieq factorsperceived air-qualityhuman thermal comfortcognitive performancecolor temperatureillumination intensityoccupant satisfactiontext::journal::journal article::review article
