Data-Driven Post-Occupancy Methods for Comfort Optimization

Thermal comfort in office environments significantly affects occupant satisfaction, productivity, and well-being. This course explores the findings from comprehensive post-occupancy evaluations (POE) across 64 office buildings, highlighting the interplay between indoor environmental quality (IEQ), technical building attributes, and occupant satisfaction. Participants will delve into the factors influencing thermal comfort, including temperature control, radiant asymmetry, and ventilation efficiency.
Through practical examples and data-driven insights, the course equips professionals with strategies to enhance thermal comfort in office spaces while adhering to IEQ standards.
