Abstract The condition of indoor environment is becoming progressively crucial because inadequate indoor conditions in office building can create risks to occupant well-being such as adverse health effects, productivity loss and higher rate of absenteeism. This has led to the development of various assessment tools dealing with this issue. However, most of existing assessment tools focused on the environmental protection and economic growth of building, while the importance of social aspect such as occupant well-being has been scarcely emphasized. This study aims to develop a measurement model of occupant well-being for Malaysian office building. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is utilized to assign the weight of four criteria of occupant well-being and fifteen associated indoor environmental parameters for computing the measurement model of occupant well-being for Malaysian office building. The measurement model, which have been driven from an AHP weighting process found that Occupant Health scores the highest priority (35.5%) in computing the measurement model of occupant well-being for Malaysian office building, followed by Occupant Comfort, Occupant Safety and Occupant Adaptation respectively. This study makes a methodological contribution by developing a novel approach that is applicable to monitor the performance of indoor environment in Malaysian office building context to improve occupant well-being.
Highlights Indoor environment impacted occupant well-being in an office building. AHP methodology was adopted to assign the priority weight. The priority weight of the occupant well-being criteria and associated indoor environment parameters for Malaysian office building were determined. Occupant health has the highest priority, followed by occupant comfort, occupant safety and occupant adaptation. A measurement model of occupant well-being for Malaysian office building was developed.
