Abstract

This study examines the effects of both sustainable and traditional building systems on the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and occupant perceptions in an open-plan office floor of a high-rise building located in Chicago, IL. The office evaluated has sustainable daylighting features as well as a more traditional variable air volume mechanical system. Different measurement locations and techniques are investigated to quantify the indoor environmental conditions (i.e., acoustics, lighting, and thermal conditions) experienced by the building occupants. The occupant perceptions of the indoor environmental conditions are assessed via survey questionnaires administered to the building occupants. The relationships between the IEQ measured in the office and the occupant perceptions are assessed.
