Abstract:
1. 1. A comprehensive study was made to establish evaluation methods for better office environments.
2. 2. In our study, measurements of thermal, acoustic, lighting, airflow and air quality conditions in indoor environments were made as well as questionnaire to the occupants on the evaluations of indoor environments and the feeling of fatigue.
3. 3. We also made an attempt to rate the evaluation value based on concepts and standards to evaluate totally office environments in a view point of “the office environments where people can work healthy and vigorously”. The evaluation values were called IAQ-index.
