“…This method was used in Brager and Baker [79] when comparing mechanically conditioned and mixed-mode buildings or by Altomonte and Schiavon [80], [81] when comparing LEED to non-LEED buildings. This method seems extremely appropriate for bringing new answers to our question and it does not require buildings to be built as a side-by-side comparison.…”

“…Recently, several field studies have been published comparing indoor environment quality in green and conventional buildings, and the results have been mixed. Green 4 buildings generally had higher levels of satisfaction, but in some cases the differences were practically small, and the importance of individual components of satisfaction has varied (Altomonte & Schiavon, 2013;Leaman, Thomas, & Vandenberg, 2007;Liang et al, 2014;Menadue, Soebarto, & Williamson, 2013;Newsham et al, 2013;Schiavon & Altomonte, 2014;Thatcher & Milner 2012). …”

“…It must be highlighted that in recent years the building industry has been giving a priority track to energy saving technologies, both through the development of technological systems with high energy efficiency [3], and promoting the issue of fit for purpose national regulations/standards [4]; less attention was devoted to IEQ improvement and associated monitoring procedures. This has been reflected also in recent versions of environmental certification protocols like LEED v2009, as Watson [5] reported and as Altomonte et al [6] analyzed in particular with respect to IEQ satisfaction by the users. This is most probably linked to the fact that investments that generate energy savings can be more easily justified from the financial point of view and can be more easily implemented in a design strategy with respect to improvement in IEQ, where uniformly accepted classification and monitoring procedure are yet not established.…”

Linear, Non-Linear and Alternative Algorithms in the Correlation of IEQ Factors with Global Comfort: A Case Study

2014

Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) factors usually considered in engineering studies, i.e., thermal, acoustical, visual comfort and indoor air quality are individually associated with the occupant satisfaction level on the basis of well-established relationships. On the other hand, the full understanding of how single IEQ factors contribute and interact to determine the overall occupant satisfaction (global comfort) is currently an open field of research. The lack of a shared approach in treating the subject depends on many aspects: absence of established protocols for the collection of subjective and objective measurements, the amount of variables to consider and in general the complexity of the technical issues involved. This case study is aimed to perform a comparison between some of the models available, studying the results of a survey conducted with objective and subjective method on a classroom within University of Roma TRE premises. Different models are fitted on the same measured values, allowing comparison between different weighting schemes between IEQ categories obtained with different methods. The critical issues, like differences in the weighting scheme obtained with different IEQ models and the variability of the weighting scheme with respect to the time of exposure of the users in the building, identified during this small scale comfort assessment study, provide the basis for a survey activity on a larger scale, basis for the development of an improved IEQ assessment method.

Occupant satisfaction in LEED and non-LEED certified buildings

Abstract: Occupant satisfaction with indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in office buildings has been positively correlated to self-estimated job performance and, potentially, to overall company productivity. LEED is a voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven
