There is a need to better understand the perceived experiences of workers in green buildings as the literature to this point has been mixed.
To re-evaluate occupant experiences within a LEED platinum building and investigate current experiences in general.
An online post occupancy evaluation (POE) survey of 62 occupants of LEED Platinum building on a US college campus is reported. The online survey addressed indoor environmental quality in relation to health, productivity and satisfaction.
Of the respondents, 38.7% had participated in a prior POE of this building in 2011 and results were compared for this subgroup, as well as for overall results. There was a significant increase in satisfaction with office workstations and air freshness as compared to 3 years earlier. However, there was also a significant increase in reported frequency of all physical symptoms. When looking just at the current POE results, control over features of the workstation had a significant relationship with most outcomes of interest.
While improvements have been noted, issues continue to exist that have implications for health, productivity and satisfaction. The results of this study have implications for the ergonomic design of workstations and indoor environmental quality within LEED buildings.
鉴于目前相关文献的观点不一，有必要更好地了解绿色建筑中工作人员的实际体验。
重新评估LEED白金级建筑内居住者的体验，并总体调查当前的体验情况。
报告了一项针对美国大学校园内一座LEED白金级建筑的62名居住者进行的在线使用后评估（POE）调查。该在线调查涉及与健康、生产力和满意度相关的室内环境质量。
在受访者中，38.7%曾在2011年参与过该建筑的一次使用后评估，并将该子群体的结果以及总体结果进行了比较。与3年前相比，对办公工作站和空气清新度的满意度显著提高。然而，所报告的所有身体症状的出现频率也显著增加。仅看当前的使用后评估结果，对工作站功能的控制与大多数感兴趣的结果存在显著关联。
虽然已注意到有所改善，但仍存在对健康、生产力和满意度有影响的问题。本研究结果对LEED建筑内工作站的人体工程学设计和室内环境质量具有启示意义。
