Evaluation of indoor environment conditions in offices located in buildings with large glazed areas

Abstract The field study was carried out during the heating season in two Lithuanian office buildings with large glazed areas. The methodology was prepared for evaluating indoor microclimate parameters while using objective and subjective evaluation. The results show that the average temperature in all tested offices was in the range of optimal zones, but in some offices the average temperature was not in compliance with the recommended temperature for offices. During the subjective evaluation, respondents working in these offices identified complains because of too high temperatures, stuffy air and irritation in eyes. The average relative humidity measured in all tested offices was not in compliance with the optimal requirements. Such SBS symptoms as irritation in eyes, cough and dry skin of the hands were identified as the most frequent symptoms in the second tested building. Main indoor microclimate problems arising in buildings with large glazed areas were related to overheating indoor spaces because ...
