Indoor environment and user satisfaction in arid zone classrooms. Case study

Authors

Abstract

The objective of this work is to determine possible design problems that affect student satisfaction in arid zone school buildings during the winter period. To carry out surveys were developed in four classrooms with different design characteristics. The survey allows the user to obtain a diagnosis regarding the variables of internal environmental influence: thermal comfort, air quality and light comfort. Satisfaction with respect to each of them is evaluated using the model of the percentage of votes of predicted dissatisfied people. The results suggest that north-south cross ventilation and the high percentage of window openings in both orientations (CPR cases) are the main aspect responsible for the dissatisfaction expressed by users. Having windows in only one orientation and having mobile solar control systems (EF cases) provides sensations of thermal well-being and acceptable conditions of air quality and light comfort

Keywords:

environmental quality, school, comfort, subjective evaluation
