Abstract

A post-occupancy evaluation (POE) conceptual framework and questionnaire were developed and tested for occupant satisfaction in sustainable buildings. The purpose of this study was to test the POE questionnaire for validity and reliability and report the test results as well as those of a confirmatory case study analysis. An online, self-administered questionnaire was completed by 218 occupants of a sustainable office building in the Midwest. Statistical analysis for validity and reliability is reported. Additionally, several notable results were found in the case study: a) overall occupant satisfaction is significantly influenced by lighting/view conditions and furnishings conditions; b) occupant satisfaction with lighting/view conditions was significantly related to visual comfort of lighting; c) occupant satisfaction with furnishings conditions was significantly related to visual privacy. Finally, the questionnaire was found to be valid and reliable, which provides the industry with an instrument to learn more about occupant responses to sustainable buildings.

使用后室内环境质量与使用者满意度评价问卷的效度与信度检验

开发并测试了可持续建筑中居住者满意度的使用后评估(POE)概念框架和问卷。本研究的目的是测试POE问卷的效度和信度，并报告测试结果以及验证性案例分析的结果。一份在线的、自我管理的调查问卷由中西部一座可持续办公大楼的218名居住者完成。报告了效度和信度的统计分析。此外，在案例研究中发现了几个显著的结果:a)总体居住者满意度受到照明/景观条件和家具条件的显著影响;B)居住者对照明/视野条件的满意度与照明的视觉舒适度显著相关;C)居住者对家具条件的满意度与视觉隐私显著相关。最后，调查问卷被发现是有效和可靠的，这为行业提供了一个工具，以了解更多关于居住者对可持续建筑的反应。
