Impact of Glazing on Thermal Comfort, Relative Humidity, and Lighting Level in Office Spaces
Abstract
Providing a working environment that has certain level of comfort is one of the most prominent requirement of an office space. Clearly, relevant space parameters are necessary to perform minimum space quality. In this regard, building components that have an impact on indoor environmental quality (IEQ) are so critical that can change the quality of the place in a critical extent. Even if the buildings are typical and orientation is the same, comfort conditions could be different. Furthermore, facade configuration of a building has an impact on space comfort. Glazing of an office space can affect the comfort conditions in terms of temperature, relative humidity and light intensity. For this purpose, three typical office spaces in Mustafa Kemal neighborhood in Ankara are studied as a case and examined in terms of environmental conditions of interior.
