Summary

The paper reports the results of an indoor environment survey in air-conditioned shopping malls in Hong Kong. Three key parameters, the indoor air temperature, relative humidity and air speed, were measured in the occupied zone and their mean values were calculated. Subjective feelings of the occupants and their views on the indoor environment were surveyed by questionnaire. It was found that the overall perception of the indoor air quality was affected by odours. Those surveyed prefered higher air speeds to give a feeling of air movement. They felt comfortable in a shopping mall with a mean air temperature of 20-24 deg C, mean relative air humidity of 50-65% and mean air speed of 0.2-0.4 m/s.
