| Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to investigate how the indoor temperature has influence on occupants' attention abilities as a basis of productivity. To achieve the purpose, the experiment in climate chamber was conducted. In the experiment, temperature was controlled according to two levels (20 degree C or 23 degree C) and other factors were controlled uniformly. All of subjects were exposed to those two different thermal conditions. Each participant was asked to mark their answers on the state of attention measurement sheets (FAIR and Trail making test), in two conditions. Total 60 data were conducted. The main results are as follows. First, subjects showed the better attention abilities in relation to Q score at 20 degree C. But on the other hand attention abilities in relation to C score were higher at 23 degree C. Second, the attention skill to control obstructions was showed well at 20 degree C. |
