本文介绍了一项国际调查的结果,该调查调查了2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间建筑环境对居住者福祉的影响,当时大多数专业人员被迫在家工作(WFH)。该调查包括81个问题,重点是受访者的个人资料、住所、家庭室内环境质量、健康状况和家庭工作经历。从35个国家共收集了1460份答复,其中1137份被认为是完整的,可供分析。研究结果表明,家庭空间布局对员工幸福感有显著影响,因为缺乏个人工作空间导致的家庭生活干扰和噪音可能会妨碍高效工作。缺乏风景,采光不足,音响效果差也影响了住户的生产力和WFH的整体体验。调查还发现,相对于室内照明、声学条件和家居布局,温度、相对湿度和室内空气质量的满意度普遍较高。因此,在未来的家居设计中,灯光、音响和布局也应该受到更多的关注。
This paper presents the results from an international survey that investigated the impacts of the built environment on occupant well-being during the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic when most professionals were forced to work from home (WFH). The survey was comprised of 81 questions focusing on the respondent's profiles, residences, home indoor environmental quality, health, and home working experiences. A total of 1460 responses were collected from 35 countries, and 1137 of them were considered complete for the analysis. The results suggest that home spatial layout has a significant impact on occupant well-being during WFH since home-life distractions and noises due to the lack of a personal workspace are likely to prevent productive work. Lack of scenic views, inadequate daylighting, and poor acoustics were also reported to be detrimental to occupant productivity and the general WFH experience. It is also revealed from this survey that temperature, relative humidity, and indoor air quality generally have higher satisfaction ratios compared with the indoor lighting and acoustic conditions, and the home layout. Hence, home design for lighting, acoustics, and layout should also receive greater attention in the future.
