Author(s) : ROHLES F. H. Jr, WOODS J. E. Jr, MOREY P. R.

Summary

THE PAPER PRESENTS AN INITIAL EFFORT AT DEVELOPING A RATING SCALE FOR INDOOR ENVIRONMENT ACCEPTABILITY. TWELVE FEATURES OF THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT REPRESENTING THE THERMAL, ACOUSTICAL, LIGHTING, AND AIR QUALITY CONSTITUENTS WERE RATED ACCORDING TO THEIR PERCENTAGE CONTRIBUTION TO THE QUALITY OF THE INDOOR SPACE BY 111 ADVANCED ENGINEERING STUDENTS AND 89 CLERICAL WORKERS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE THERMAL ENVIRONMENT WAS JUDGED TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER CONSTITUENTS, THAT THE LOUDNESS AND PITCH OF THE SOUND WERE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPORTANT TO THE STUDENT SAMPLE THAN TO THE CLERICAL SAMPLE, AND THAT TEMPERATURE WAS PERCEIVED AS MORE CRITICAL TO THE CLERICAL SAMPLE.
