Indoor environmental quality depends on thermal comfort, Indoor air quality, visual comfort and acoustics. There is a hierarchy of importance among these factors. Thermal comfort and air quality affects IEQ most. I want to know how much visual quality and acoustics contribute to IEQ
Hi
Please search "indoor environmental comfort and multisensory interactions"
The list of indoor environmental quality components represented in this query is unduly restrictive: other components such as ergonomics and hygiene, to name but a few, are also at play. Anyhow, the point is that what importance (or weight) is ascribed to any one particular component is a function of such variables as location, the purpose of the building (or space), culture, income group, age range of the tenants, personal circumstances, etc.
While you could quantify it (using a Likert scale or other indexes), I'm not sure "how much" is the right question to ask here...
Since quality is non-quantitative by definition, you can start to explore further "how" they visual and acoustic properties (which could be perceived as more comfortably for a sample) contribute to their perception of the quality of the space.
I believe the acoustic comfort is one that makes an important contribution and defines our relationship with spaces (generally an understudied topic I think).
