“…The basic concepts implemented in interior design include adaptive applications, use of bright colors and biophilic elements, activity, and zoning-based work areas, maximizing meeting rooms, and minimizing individual spaces. Technology use is regulated in the main standards for building, lighting, and ventilation system components [12][13] [14]. All of them are related to the productivity level and officer performance [8].…”

An office is a center of operations where various activities take place, depending on the business conducted. Office conditions determine the credibility and synergy of business entity, as well as the officers' performance and productivity. This study formulates an interior design concept based on the Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), with Mixed Methods Research (MMR) approach, which emphasizes the empirical meaning based on relevant field data. The research object is the Haleyora Powerindo (HPI) office building in Jakarta. MMR approach ensures the significance level of the work environment quality in the room and the workplace, as well as the officers' performance. The first step was analyzing the spatial conditions in the field based on standardization, which was conducted according to the satisfaction survey of officers. The results show that the work environment quality is high and responds positively. According to the workplace quality, satisfaction is mainly related to workspace area and quality, comfort and style of furniture, circulation, and accessibility to the work table, effectiveness and efficiency of workplace layout, ICT implementation, and HVAC and maintenance. Social space and entertainment facilities provide flexibility in interacting between officers of different divisions that were not in the previous office. Based on the results of multiple regression calculations, the in-door environment (IEQ) and the officer workspace (WQ) quality have a significant effect on officer performance (OP). These are 3 main factors critical in conducting systematic evaluations to obtain results from office space design. This study is expected to be a strategic reference for planning and designing a similar spatial atmosphere in different locations or cases

“…A growing body of knowledge recognizes the need for satisfactory indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in the built environment. According to Zuhaib et al (2018) and Tang et al (2020), acceptable IEQ is a vital factor in achieving a productive and healthy building environment, reduces sick building syndrome (SBS), and minimizes short-term absence. The authors viewed IEQ as an acceptable level of thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort in addition to indoor air quality (IAQ).…”

“…These issues may be unpalatable, disruptive, driver of loss of academic work time and low performance, absenteeism, and even litigation between students and management. For instance, Mujan et al (2019) and Tang et al (2020) in their studies reported that lack of adequate fresh air in the UK and US commercial buildings occasioned reduced productivity in workers, and illness amounts to an estimated monetary loss of 15 billion pounds and 38 billion dollars. The researchers also relate poor students' cognitive abilities to the bad indoor environment of hostel facilities.…”

An improved indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is a major determinant of human comfort in an occupied space. The current cross-sectional study investigates the link between indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and sick building syndrome symptoms (SBS) emergence with a case study of selected students' hostels in a Nigerian private university. A quantitative research design method was adopted where 376 (n = 376) copies of the questionnaire were purposely administered to the student's occupants. A mini environmental quality meter was also objectively used to measure the indoor air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, and lighting levels in the selected hostel rooms in February and March 2019. The data obtained were subjected to descriptive and analysis of variance (ANOVA) inferential statistics using the Statistical Package for Social

This paper summarizes the recent post-occupancy evaluation (POE) method studies and latest literature reviews. According to the research trends, data visualization of an occupant’s feedback is an important perspective and surveys through POE methods have provided a quick and cost-effective approach for gathering and analyzing an occupant’s feedback. Therefore, the objective of this study is to establish a web-based building occupant survey system that incorporates new approaches based on a geographic information system (GIS) tool and open-source spatial information. This paper reports the following to provide the detailed system framework: (1) development requirements from literature reviews; (2) integration of collected data and 3D (three dimensional) spatial information; (3) system processes and user-friendly functions; and (4) pilot test and data visualization. The difference between the proposed platform and existing online survey systems is that in the former the survey responses are linked to the 3D spatial information of the buildings on a map. Thus, the results provide more intuitive insights for building managers and occupants to identify specific performance issues related to the building.
