Abstract
With the change social relations, the shared office is becoming more famous. The open office layout is still the first choice for most shared office spaces. It is assumed to increase communication and interaction between occupants and increase user satisfaction with the workplace. However, noise control and privacy issues are considered to be detrimental to user satisfaction.
In order to find out how indoor quality affects user satisfaction in an Open-plan shared office space. This paper conducted an open-plan shared space POE survey. The survey covered the satisfaction of the open-plan shared office space occupants with overall satisfaction with IEQ and the individual factor. Moreover, the results are analyzed to determine the impact of various factors on the overall satisfaction of occupants.
