Quantifying thermal environmental impact on office productivity

该项目旨在量化热环境对办公室生产力的影响。它希望坚定地消除普遍存在的错误观念，即22 °C的室内温度会导致最大的工作场所生产力，并在商业建筑的建筑管理实践中创造一个范式转变。该项目的预期成果包括一个新的生产力指标，用于评估热环境对办公室生产力影响的标准测量协议，以及世界上第一个针对不同行业工作场所中各种认知活动的室内热环境控制指南。这将提供具有成本效益的解决方案，以减少建筑物的能源使用，同时保持最佳的劳动力生产率。

This project aims to quantify thermal environmental impacts on office productivity. It expects to firmly dismiss the prevailing misbelief that an indoor temperature of 22 °C leads to maximum workplace productivity, and create a paradigm shift in building management practice in commercial buildings. Expected outcomes of this project include a novel productivity metric, a standard measurement protocol for assessing thermal environmental impacts on office productivity, and world first indoor thermal environmental control guidelines tailored to diverse cognitive activities in the workplaces of different industries. This should provide cost-effective solutions to reduce building energy use while maintaining optimum workforce productivity.
