以日本办公楼的现状为例，讨论环境问题与办公生产力的平衡。为了促进节能工作，从办公室工作人员的生产力角度来评估室内环境质量非常重要。我们关于中等高温对生产率影响的实验被注意到。他们表明，热环境对任务绩效的影响在不同的任务类型之间是矛盾的。然而，与热中性条件相比，受试者更多地抱怨精神疲劳的感觉，并且在炎热条件下维持相同水平的任务表现需要更多的脑血流量。为了评估任务绩效，维持绩效的成本，即疲劳和脑力劳动，对于评估和预测生产力非常重要。长时间暴露在室内，室内空气温度会影响工人的工作表现。
The current status of Japanese office buildings is taken as an example and the balance of environmental concerns and office productivity are discussed. To promote the effort for energy conservation, it is important to estimate the indoor environmental quality from the aspect of office workers' productivity. Our experiments on the effect of moderately high temperature on productivity are noted. They showed that the effects of thermal environment on task performance were contradictory among the task types. However, the subjects complained of the feeling of mental fatigue more, and more cerebral blood flow was required to maintain the same level of task performance in the hot condition than at a thermal neutral condition. For evaluating task performance, the cost of maintaining performance, namely, fatigue and mental effort, is important in evaluating and predicting productivity. For long periods of exposure, indoor air temperature has effects on workers' performance.
