Gender differences in environment evaluation for office building
Abstract
Paper deals with an analysis of differences between the male and female responses regarding thermal comfort, noise and lighting level and indoor air quality in offices. The research was done in Belgrade, Serbia, for office building in a period from March to Jun 2018. Measurements for outdoor and indoor air parameters were done, together with the statistical survey of occupants. The results showed the significant differences in responses between male and women for the same state of the environment. It is noticed that men were more sensitive to the higher temperatures, preferring colder working environment, while women stated to feel more comfortable in slightly warmer environment. Study also showed that men were more tolerant to noise, while women were more sensitive to poor air quality.
