A measurement model of occupant well-being for Malaysian office building

Razlin Mansor et al.

Summary: The condition of indoor environment in office buildings is crucial for occupant well-being. Existing assessment tools mainly focus on environmental protection and economic growth, neglecting the importance of occupant well-being. This study develops a measurement model using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to prioritize occupant well-being criteria. The model identifies health as the highest priority for Malaysian office buildings.

Understanding the perceived productivity of office occupants in relation to workspace thermal environment

Jaime Soto Munoz et al.

Summary: This study in Chile examines the impact of moderate thermal environments on office occupants' perceived productivity. Data was collected in winter and summer in eighteen office buildings in Concepcion and Santiago. The study found that while 80.5% of occupants reported normal productivity in the cross-sectional survey, 82.7% said their productivity is affected by the thermal environment in the retrospective survey. The findings suggest a need for organizations and design professionals to better understand the relationship between thermal conditions and occupants' perceived productivity in office buildings.
