Abstract

Satisfaction and comfort level in a building is most demandable aspect by occupants that required to be concerned. Good management of indoor environmental quality can results enhancement towards health and well-being of occupants. Thus, by determining factors which involves in indoor environmental quality such as thermal comfort parameters and air quality parameters, various illness and unstable emotions of the occupants. This study of evaluating the indoor environmental quality works along the process of post occupancy evaluation which is to gather feedback performance of the building in use. The main objective of this research is to identify occupants’ satisfaction and perception level on academic building in technology campus of UTEM especially in Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM) and Faculty of Technology Management & Technopreneurship (FPTT). Thermal comfort analysis and indoor air quality analysis were conducted to appraise the indoor environmental quality of the buildings. Both analyses were conducted in the form of physical measurement and subjective assessment. Physical measurement in classroom were carried out with relevant instruments. Meanwhile, subjective assessment was carried out with distributing questionnaire in google form in order to obtain occupants’ feedback. Followed by regression analysis which is to estimate the values of the dependent variables by using values of independent variables such as operative air temperature, PMV index, relative humidity, air velocity in order to identify their strength relationship. Based on the findings of this study, technical design improvisation are proposed with the goal to improve the indoor environmental quality in the buildings. This research will be helpful for those who endeavour to enrol research in this similar field.
