“…Businesses, in turn, face the economic repercussions of poor IEQ through higher healthcare costs, decreased work output, and potential legal liabilities [4]. Furthermore, buildings with poor IEQ often consume more heating, ventilation, and air conditioning energy, leading to increased operational costs and a larger carbon footprint, exacerbating environmental concerns [5].…”

This paper investigates the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) factors influencing occupant satisfaction in commercial buildings in Iran, contrasting the views of building experts (architects and engineers) with those of building occupants. Employing the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), this study focuses on the four primary IEQ factors: thermal comfort, indoor air quality, visual comfort, and acoustic comfort. The study aims to bridge the gap between expert evaluations and occupant perceptions of IEQ factors in commercial buildings in Iran. By examining the disparities in prioritising IEQ factors between these two groups, the study sheds light on the complexities of IEQ assessment and highlights the importance of considering diverse perspectives in optimising indoor environments. Our methodology includes a survey conducted among 30 building experts (15 architects and 15 building engineers) and 102 occupants, employing FAHP to derive the relative importance weights of each IEQ factor. The results highlight significant disparities between architects, engineers, and occupants in prioritising these factors. Architects emphasise visual comfort (42%), while engineers and occupants view thermal comfort (53% and 41%) as the most crucial factor for occupant satisfaction. The study underscores the complexity of IEQ in commercial buildings and the diverse perspectives influencing its assessment. It contributes to the broader discourse on optimising IEQ, emphasising the need for a comprehensive approach that encompasses both technical expertise and occupant experience.

“…In this regard, various research in environmental sustainability has been conducted focusing on Iran (as the target community). This research is often in the field of energy (Ahmadi et al, 2021; Assadi et al, 2022; Atabaki & Aryanpur, 2018; Ifaei et al, 2017; Nasouri & Delgarm, 2022; Pakrooh et al, 2021), sustainable management Groundwater resources (Arasteh & Farjami, 2021; Hosseini et al, 2019; Raeisi et al, 2018; Samani, 2021), Sustainable management of municipal solid waste (Maghmoumi et al, 2020; Shumal et al, 2020), Sustainable construction (Fathalizadeh et al, 2021), sustainable urban and rural development (Amoushahi et al, 2022; Arasteh & Farjami, 2021) and analysis of the behavior of environmentalists (Fasihi & Parizadi, 2021; Karami et al, 2021; Raeisi et al, 2018).…”

This study aims to extract, model, and rank reference groups on green consumer behavior to achieve environmentally sustainable development. This research was conducted in Iran in four stages. In the first stage, thematic factors were extracted through the research literature. These factors were expressed in 26 factors using expert opinions. A questionnaire containing 26 factors affecting the subject was
