Which of the following factors is NOT required on a survey of occupant comfort?

  1. Acoustics

  2. Thermal comfort

  3. Building cleanliness

  4. Energy efficiency

The correct answer is: Energy efficiency

In a survey of occupant comfort, several factors are typically assessed to gauge how comfortable individuals feel within a building environment, including acoustics, thermal comfort, and building cleanliness. These elements directly impact how occupants experience the space, influencing their satisfaction and performance. Acoustics refers to the sound quality within a space, which can affect concentration and overall comfort. Thermal comfort relates to the temperature and humidity levels in a building, crucial for occupants' physical comfort and productivity. Building cleanliness is essential as it affects both the perception and physical health of individuals in the environment. Energy efficiency, while an important aspect of building operations and a key consideration in sustainable practices, is not typically included in an occupant comfort survey. It pertains more to the building's performance and operational management rather than to how individuals perceive their immediate comfort conditions. This distinction highlights why energy efficiency is not a factor that needs to be evaluated in surveys specifically focusing on occupant comfort.
