Indoor climate and productivity in offices

The new REHVA guidebook is presented in this paper. Written by an international group of experts. The researchers, engineers and practitioners advise how to quantify the effects of indoor environment on office work and how to integrate productivity in life-cycle-cost analysis of building services. The main purpose of their guidebook is to increase the awareness of building owners and practitioners to indoor environmental quality and its importance for office work and to convince them that large profits could be obtained with fairly small investments.
