Post-occupancy evaluation in indoor comfort conditions for green office buildings

This paper aims to reveal the relationship between the post-occupancy evaluation (POE) and indoor comfort conditions for green office buildings. First, six office buildings in Turkey with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-New Construction (LEEDNC) certification were evaluated for their envelope features. Second, a post-occupancy survey was conducted to investigate the indoor comfort of green office building users. The post-occupancy questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha reliability of 0.956) was evaluated with regression and cross-tabulation methods using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics) Program. The results show that envelope characteristics are important for POE of building performance and occupant indoor comfort satisfaction levels are related to a personal workplace location.
