Interview responses regarding thermal comfort
Based on the similar ratings for thermal comfort in Building A and Building B, subsequent interviews with building occupants focussed on identifying barriers that may have contributed toward the unsatisfactory scores. Ten participants were selected at random from each building and included a range of users. From within Building A, one professor, two doctoral students, five master’s students, and one undergraduate student were interviewed. Additionally, one professor, one staff, and eight undergraduate students were interviewed from Building B. After completing the interviews for both buildings, the collected responses were transcribed and a content analysis was conducted
