Interaction of Individual Characteristics on Occupants’ Comfort Perception in cases of Office Buildings in Greece and Croatia
Legislative frameworks, both national and international ones, outline the need for creating and preserving high levels of comfort for the indoor environment. The attainment of such goal is imperative for both the occupants’ well-being and productivity. Both factors constitute vital parameters for the decision- making process and can influence the policy makers along with the designers for the creation and renovation of a building. Furthermore, the need of extensive evaluation is noted in cases of office buildings ; they not only constitute the numerically second most important category of the nonresidential sector, but it is in those buildings where users spend most of their overall time (60- 90%). In this line of approach, an integrated evaluation and determination of the personalized parameters that can affect the occupants’ perception of comfort is essential and is carried out in this study. In detail, office buildings located in Thessaloniki, Greece, and Split, Croatia, were evaluated. Both cities are located in coastal areas of the Mediterranean region, with their climate denoting similarities with a series of other Mediterranean cities. In order to pursue the goal of the study, a revealed preference survey was conducted and an inferential statistical analysis was performed in the office buildings evaluated, aiming at the determination of statistical important correlations among the occupants’ perception of comfort and their personalized and social parameters. Concluding, the results of the study constitute an initial indicator of the indirect measured personalized parameters that affect the occupants’ comfort, creating the perception of either a pleasant or not indoor work environment conditions. Therefore, valuable results can lead to the set of boundary conditions in the renovation scheme of the buildings in the years to come.
