Abstract :

Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) can have directly effects on occupants’ health and productivity. It is imperative that we pay utmost attention to our indoor environment to achieve optimal level of effective productivity. Building occupants often react in noticeably different ways under the same indoor environment, leading to a presumption that various socio demographic variables beyond environmental parameters influence occupants’ perception of the quality of indoor environment. Aim of the present research was to study the effect of gender of employee on perceived indoor environment quality and productivity in Indian population. The total of 660 employees from various offices of Chandigarh was recruited as sample. The age range of the sample was between 25 to 60 years. Sample was divided into two groups Group 1 consisted of 303 male employees and Group II consisted of 357 female employees. It was observed that significant gender differences were found on satisfaction with the office temperature. Male employees were found to be more satisfied with their temperature as compared to their female counterparts.
