Abstrakt: This article summarizes a study conducted in Guangzhou, China, comparing the thermal comfort in different types of office buildings. The study found that green office buildings outperformed conventional office buildings in terms of indoor temperature, air movement, and occupant satisfaction. The study suggests that employees in green office buildings are better adapted to their thermal environment and may have greater potential for energy savings. The findings have implications for the design and operation of green buildings to create a better indoor environment while ensuring thermal comfort. The article also discusses the importance of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in promoting comfort, well-being, and productivity in indoor spaces. [Extracted from the article]
