Abstract: | Although human comfort and safety is at the top of its agenda, Building Services profession has long struggled to link the soft science of human behavior to the hard science of mechanical and electrical engineering. Yet a building’s design specification will have a direct bearing on the health and happiness of its users. This paper carried out assessment covering a full-range of post-occupancy issues, compares performance-in-use with the original design objectives and the studies reveal how a building’s comfort levels and speed of response may affect occupant satisfaction and productivity. A questionnaire well-structured was issued to obtain the various comfort satisfactory level of primary user of the band building and the response effect of the management system as accepted by BSRIA’s Environmental Code of practice and IAQ standard since an ultimate standard in comfort can never be achieved and coupled with some physical comfort index measurement carried out. The surveys never met the 85% of the occupant’s satisfactory level for the bank building. |
