In this lesson, students examine building strategies—such as acoustic design, thermal design, air quality control, quality views, interior lighting, maintenance practices, and ergonomic furniture—that can increase occupant comfort, happiness, and productivity. They also investigate how occupant control over temperature and ventilation-regulation systems can improve the satisfaction and well-being of occupants. Then students conduct a school survey to gain a better understanding of occupant comfort and make recommendations for improving the indoor environmental quality of the school.
