Evaluation of improved indoor environmental quality during renovation using the new IV2OT00I

Abstract

Literature reveals several attempts to evaluate indoor environment (IE) using a single index or indicator. Variations in quality of included measurements and variations in weights between the included areas have challenged the models. The work presented in this paper defines the potential of having a comfortable and healthy IE. It filters out the uncertainty caused by the occupants by looking only at the physical frames given through the building. The occupants are instead included in the evaluation by questionnaires. The case presented shows how it is possible to identify possible IE improvements before a renovation and illustrates how this can be combined with the use of questionnaires.
