<p>This International Standard provides an environmental survey method for the assessment of the comfort and</p>
<p>well-being of occupants of indoor and outdoor environments. It is not restricted to any particular environment,</p>
<p>but provides the general principles that allow assessment and evaluation.</p>
<p>It presents the principles for conducting an environmental survey to assess the comfort and well-being of people</p>
<p>in environments. It gives guidance on the design of the survey, as well as on the environmental measurements</p>
<p>used to quantify the environment and the subjective assessment methods used to quantify the occupants'</p>
<p>responses to that environment. It does not provide guidance on the design of subjective scales.</p>
<p>It is applicable to built as well as other environments, including vehicle and outdoor environments, and to all</p>
<p>the occupants of those environments who can be considered as providing valid responses to an environmental</p>
<p>survey. There may be specific features of certain types of environment that have to be taken into account;</p>
<p>however, the general principles it outlines will apply.</p>
<p>This International Standard is not restricted to specific environmental components. It includes assessment of</p>
<p>thermal environments, the acoustic environment, the visual and lit environment, air quality and other environmental</p>
<p>factors that could be considered to influence the comfort and well-being of the occupants of an environment.</p>
<p>It is a basic ergonomics standard which can contribute to the development of standards concerned with specific</p>
<p>environments such as those found in buildings. It is intended to be used by people involved in the general</p>
<p>assessment and evaluation of physical environments, including general ergonomics practitioners as well as</p>
<p>those who develop standards and guidelines for specific applications.</p>
