| Research Abstract |
In order to verify that arousal state is one of the human responses mediating causal relationship between IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) and work performance, three subjective experiments were carried out. Results showed that (1) arousal state varies due to IEQ, (2) work performance improves with increase in energetic arousal and falls with increase in tense arousal, (3) simple work calm down both energetic and tense arousal and the resulting arousal states are almost the same under different IEQ conditions, while complex work increase both energetic and tense arousal and the differences in the resulting arousal states due IEQ are clearly observed.
