Occupant productivity and office indoor environment quality: A review of the literature
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to review the existing literature to draw an understanding of the relationship between indoor environmental quality and occupant productivity in an office environment. The study reviews over 300 papers from 67 journals, conference articles and books focusing on indoor environment, occupant comfort, productivity and green buildings. It limits its focus to the physical aspects of an office environment. The literature outlines eight Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) factors that influence occupant productivity in an office environment. It also discusses different physical parameters under each of the IEQ factors. It proposes a conceptual model of different factors affecting occupant productivity. The study also presents a review of the data collection methods utilised by the research studies that aim to investigate the relationship between IEQ and occupant productivity. The study presents a comprehensive discussion and analysis of different IEQ factors that affect occupant productivity. The paper provides a concise starting point for future researchers interested in the area of indoor environmental quality.
Highlights Comprehensive review of IEQ factors and their impact on office occupant productivity. Key summary of data collection methodologies used for office occupant productivity. Robust foundation for researchers with interest in indoor environment quality. It highlights social and cultural issues across the globe impacting the occupant behaviour and productivity. It highlights recent technological development that can help to map occupant productivity more efficiently.
