“…Table 8 summarizes the IEQ parameters, their limits and the corresponding classification and star rating [40]. These limits were chosen by [39] to have the best significance to the IEQ class (e.g. an L pi > 60 dBA-will represent a class E from an acoustic comfort point of view, due to the fact that the educational process cannot be fulfilled anymore, while an L pi < 30 dBA corresponds to a class A).…”

“…The calculation of the IEQ index is based on a previous article published by the research team [39]. Thus the index (I IEQ ) is established based on a number of sub-indexes characterizing: thermal comfort (I th ), visual comfort (I v ), acoustic comfort (I a ), and air quality (I IAQ ).…”

“…a numerical rating, is the result of an IEQ model. This combination is often used for rating or ranking an existing building according to its IEQ, though there is also potential for predicting IEQ in new design using IEQ models tied to simulation results [46]. One relevant motivating factor behind recent research on IEQ models is the European standard EN15251 (2007).…”

This paper explores the existing literature on indoor environmental quality (IEQ) evaluation models and proposes a new weighting and classification scheme. Studies that attempt to provide IEQ assessment of commercial buildings through a scoring system are reviewed and critiqued. Objective and subjective evaluation methods and correlations are discussed. The use of assessment categories (classes) in IEQ models is critiqued and an argument is proposed against their adoption. IEQ weighting schemes are summarized and compared against a newly developed scheme based on 52,980 occupant responses in office buildings. A binary assessment classification scheme is proposed in alignment with the ASHRAE/CIBSE/USGBC Performance Measurement Protocols for Commercial Buildings.

This exploratory research aims to evaluate indoor environmental quality in the classrooms of three school buildings in Southern Manitoba, Canada, and to evaluate the well-being of these schools' teachers as it pertains to their perception of their classrooms' indoor environment. The schools include a middle-aged, conventional school; a new, non-green school; and a new, green school certified using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system. The methodology involved using a mobile instrument cart to conduct snapshot measurements of thermal comfort, indoor air quality, lighting and acoustics in classrooms and an occupant survey to evaluate teachers' long-term satisfaction with their classrooms' indoor environmental quality. The results showed that the new, green and new, non-green schools' classrooms performed better than the conventional, middle-aged school's classrooms with respect to some aspects of thermal comfort and indoor air quality only. Teachers in the new, green school and in the new, non-green school were more satisfied than teachers in the conventional, middle-aged school with their classrooms' overall indoor environmental quality, lighting quality and indoor air quality. Surprisingly, the new, green and new-non green school classrooms' performance were very comparable with the new, green school's classrooms performing statistically significantly better with respect to relative humidity. Similarly, none of the differences in teachers' satisfaction ratings between the new, green and new, non-green school were statistically significant.
