Abstract | ||||
Nowadays architects are evidencing a trend towards office buildings that are covered with glazing façades. The goal of this paper is to reviewing the current literature to explain the relationship between the effect of glazing façades on the quality of the indoor environment and the efficiency of occupants in an office environment. To achieve the aim of the study, a literature review which have cases studies for office building has been performed. The research provides a thorough discussion and examination of various IEQ variables affected by glazing façades that influence the productivity of occupants. This paper recommends that the necessary studies be made on office buildings before using glazing facades, because of their implications on the productivity of occupants. | ||||
