Studies have found a preference bias for environmentally friendly or green artifacts andbuildings. For example, indoor environments are more favorably viewed when the building is labeled/certified green, in comparison with one that is not labeled/certified, even though the two environments are actually identical. The present study explored how physical properties of the indoor environment (high vs. low temperature) and labeling (green vs. conventional) interacts in their effect on environment perception. Participants performed a series of tasks in four indoor environments with different labels (low vs. high carbon footprint) and different temperatures (23 degrees C vs. 28 degrees C). Label and temperature were manipulated orthogonally. The participants' environmental concern was also measured. The environmentally concerned participants assigned higher thermal acceptance and satisfaction scores to the environment labeled low carbon footprint (i.e., green certified) compared to the environment labeled high carbon footprint (i.e., not green certified), but only in the cooler thermal environment. Environmentally indifferent participants' perception of the environment did not differ depending on label or room temperature. The results suggest that a green label positively influence the perception of the indoor environment for occupants, but only when the temperature is within the acceptable range as proposed in guidelines for green buildings.
