Summary: | People spend over 90% of their time in the buildings. A building is a place where people are spending
more time doing activities, thus an inclusive environment of the buildings is very important to ensure
that people are having a healthy life. An inclusive environment is important for the well-being of
building occupants. Indoor environmental quality is one of the essential elements in creating an
inclusive environment in which a poor quality of indoor environment affects the health of the
occupants both physically and mentally, their performance, productivity, comfort, satisfaction, and
well-being. Even though people are towards creating an inclusive environment but it is a limited study
on the parameters of the inclusive environment. Thus, this paper is to study the parameters of the
inclusive environment by focused on the element of the indoor environmental quality for building
occupants based on literature reviews of articles between the year 2006 and 2016. Based on the
content analysis, it has been discovered that there are various parameters of an inclusive
environment which are visual comfort, thermal comfort, acoustic comfort, indoor air quality, buildings
factors, occupants’ factors, and climate condition factors. The parameters can be very useful as
guidelines and development of policy in providing inclusive environment for the healthy lifestyle of
building occupants. |
