By analyzing the above-given research literature and investigations we can say that the studies of textile emergency shelters’ internal environment are very recent and progressively are entering into the realm of computer simulation and weather data-driven analysis. As we see in the examples of thermal assessment the computer models can be very well calibrated with the real shelters and give enough accurate results. However, the post-implementation data of comfort for such tents are limited and long-term evaluation of these objects are required to see whether the initial design anticipations do really match with the actual performance or not. On the other hand in recent years more and more tools are becoming available for researchers for comfort simulation. These tools continuously improve the accuracy and ease of use, thus giving an opportunity to the design developers not only to assess their concepts in terms of structural stability but also for internal comfort for practically any climatic zone. The weather data is increasingly accumulating in platforms such as ASHRAE and can serve for better decision making in the concept stage. As it is mentioned \citep{Obyn2014} it is better to solve these problems earlier rather than trying to solve it with the huge supply of wood and fuel.
Evidently, the aspect of acoustical comfort, as opposed to the thermal comfort, was a matter of lesser concern so the knowledge and solutions here are much scarcer. Though the lack of acoustical comfort may not cause severe detriment to the occupants it may be a reason for a very poor life quality.
As we saw \cite{overview} the number of people that require sheltering is continuously increasing. The impact of this is truly global and requires immediate action. The solutions must become better and more sustainable. Ultra-lightweight structures potentially can contribute to transportability, easy deployment, thermo-acoustical comfort and many more performative benefits but until now the knowledge in this domain is very sparse. This research will be tailoring ultra-lightweight textile structure solutions to emergency sheltering problems to achieve a better outcome in facing the housing problem.
Specifically, by far we can’t see any research that tries to deal with the problems of thermal and acoustical comfort simultaneously. Developing an enclosure concept that takes into consideration both aspects may be beneficial.
On the other hand, until now the design processes were mainly human creativity driven and few optimization techniques may have been applied. By using nowadays available computation power we can evaluate hundreds of solutions in a row and determine the best possible properties in given constraints.
The research will aim to develop a solution of an emergency membrane shelter that will be optimized both in terms of thermal and acoustical comfort with a high degree of localization.
