Environmental Conditions And Occupant Satisfaction In The Workplace: A Controlled Study In A Living Lab, Jennifer Nguyen, Stephanie Huynh, Anja Jamrozik, Nicholas Clements, Christian Ramos, Brent Bauer, Jie Zhao
International Building Physics Conference 2018
Living labs offer a powerful, new way to measure human-building interactions. In addition to having the advantages of a traditional controlled laboratory setting, living labs facilitate the study of how combinations of environmental factors directly affect human health and satisfaction in a real-world setting. The aim of this experimental study was to characterize the relationship between individual-level exposure to environmental conditions and reported satisfaction with environmental quality in a simulated open-office workspace created in a living lab. Eight office workers were exposed to six different week-long combinations of light (natural and electric), sound, and thermal conditions over 18 weeks in …

Classification Of The Indoor Environment In A High-School Building By Means Of Subjective Responses, Lorenza Pistore, Ilaria Pittana, Francesca Cappelletti, Andrea Gasparella, Piercarlo Romagnoni
International Building Physics Conference 2018
In this paper the subjective evaluation of the indoor environment of a secondary school in Treviso (Italy) is presented. Field campaigns have been carried out during the winter season in order to assess people overall satisfaction about the environment, their behavior towards discomfort and their interactions with the building and the systems. A specific questionnaire has been elaborated, paying particular attention to the occupants target and to the questions needed to grasp not only the comfort feedbacks, but also the dynamics and the individual students’ attitudes that can influence the building energy performance. A first general evaluation has been elaborated …

Ieq Measurement And Assessment Tools For Plug-And-Play Deep Renovation In Buildings, Marco Arnesano, Gian Marco Revel, Rizal Sebastian, Anna Gralka, Carlo Macciò, Eva Raggi, Michele Mililli
International Building Physics Conference 2018
This paper presents the approach developed for the monitoring and assessment of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in the whole deep renovation process aimed at reducing energy consumptions and improving comfort. The research was performed by the P2Endure project, that aims to provide scalable, adaptable and ready-to-implement prefabricated Plug-and-Play systems for deep renovation of building envelopes and technical systems. The idea is to use IEQ as one of the design criteria supporting the decision-making process, included into the holistic renovation process developed by P2Endure and called “4M: Mapping-Modelling- Making-Monitoring”. For this reason, a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) was selected, …
