Summary

An environmental survey has been undertaken of environmental conditions in 23 office spaces. The paper focuses on the responses of 228 occupants. The most significant factors found in this survey for judging freshness were air temperature and fresh air supply rate. Current standards for fresh air are questioned and there is certainly a need for fresh air ventilation controls to be more sensitive to changes in indoor temperature of only 1 deg C steps which may occur throughout the day.
