Importance of air quality indicators for office environments: An overview

Abstract
Air quality in office buildings has got an impact on working productivity as well as on the working satisfaction in office environments. Moreover, final effect can be linked with thermal comfort conditions since they have significant impact on energy consumption in offices. In this study various factors have been investigated and analysed in order to understand their impact on air quality and occupants’ satisfaction with the environmental conditions. The second perspective of the overview was focused on analysis of the air quality interconnection with thermal comfort conditions, since they are linked. The current issues as well as challenges in the field were also discussed within this investigation. The results of conducted research would be directly useful for more advanced consideration of personal air quality and thermal comfort conditions as vital aspect of smart and high-performance buildings.
