IEQ Post Occupancy Evaluation

“People spend 80-90 per cent of their lives in buildings; living, studying, working, entertaining themselves, consuming and even exercising, which means that the indoor conditions can have a strong imprint on wellbeing, health and productivity.”Wargocki et al (1999)

Internal environmental quality (IEQ) post occupancy evaluation (POE) can help stakeholders understand the current conditions of the building and their impact on occupant wellbeing and productivity.

A better way to perform IEQ POE evaluation

Addressing two common challenges for building performance – reducing the carbon footprint attached to the provision of comfortable indoor environments, and improving the health and wellbeing of occupants – requires a more comprehensive understanding of how the indoor environments of buildings are operated.

In this new era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, the indoor environmental monitoring online system affords a fundamentally new approach to built environmental field research that holds significant promise to improve building performance and indoor environmental quality and occupant satisfaction, health, wellbeing and performance.

Ease of Data Gathering: The Internet is a vast virtual world that connects all kinds of people from around the globe. For this reason, a survey that requires a hundred or more respondents can be conducted faster via the Internet. The survey questionnaire can be rapidly deployed and completed by the respondents, especially if there’s an incentive that is given after their participation.
Minimal Costs: Traditional survey methods often require you to spend thousands of dollars to achieve the optimal results. On the other hand, studies show that conducting an Internet survey facilitates low-cost and fast data collection from the target population. Sending email questionnaires and other online questionnaires are more affordable than the face-to-face method.
Automation in Data Input and Handling: With online surveys, the respondents are able to answer the questionnaire by means of inputting their answers while connected to the Internet. Then, the responses are automatically stored in a survey database, providing hassle-free handling of data and a smaller possibility of data errors.
Increase in Response Rates: Online survey provides the highest level of convenience for the respondents because they can answer the questionnaire according to their own pace, chosen time, and preferences.
Flexibility of Design: Complex types of surveys can be easily conducted through the Internet. The questionnaire may include more than one type of response format in such a way that the respondents would not get discouraged from the changes in the manner they answer the questions.
Serverless Technology: A cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider allocates machine resources on demand, taking care of the servers on behalf of their customers. Serverless computing does not hold resources in volatile memory; computing is rather done in short bursts with the results persisted to storage. When an app is not in use, there are no computing resources allocated to the app.
