Questionnaire surveys measured the reactions of 6 facilities managers and 151 office workers to under-floor task ventilation. Facilities managers received fewer complaints about thermal discomfort and ventilation problems than in their previous buildings, and were very satisfied with task ventilation. A majority of office workers said that task ventilation improves thermal comfort, perceived air quality, and provides good temperature and ventilation conditions to support productive working and to help maintain alertness at work. Age and sex interactions were found for several environmental conditions, and women generally reported more frequent problems with thermal discomfort and ventilation.
