一般的オフィス空間における執務者の知覚空気質及びPerformanceの評価方法に関する検討

抄録

Perceived air quality, sick building syndrome (SBS) symptoms and productivity were studied in an office that was renovated one year before the experiment. 31 female subjects were exposed to the two conditions in the same office with an outdoor airflow of 280 m3/h and 45 m3/h while all other environmental parameters were kept unchanged. They assessed perceived air quality and SBS symptoms while performing simulated office work. In the room with the low ventilation rate, concentration of the formaldehyde and the volatile organic compounds showed much higher. There was more increased prevalence of SBS symptoms for subjects dissatisfied air quality upon entering the office with chemicals more polluted. In the proofreading task, subjects worked with decreased productivity in the more chemicals polluted room.
