TL;DR: In this article, the results of a large indoor environmental quality survey in office buildings, comparing green with non-green buildings, were summarized. But the results suggest a need for improvements in controllability of lighting, and innovative strategies to accommodate sound privacy needs in open plan or cubicle office layouts in both comparison groups.

TL;DR: The Center for the Built Environment developed a Web-based survey and accompanying online reporting tools to quickly and inexpensively gather, process and present this information as mentioned in this paper, which can be used to assess the performance of a building, identify areas needing improvement, and provide useful feedback to designers and operators about specific aspects of building design features and operating strategies.

TL;DR: The survey can be used to assess the performance of a building, identify areas needing improvement, and provide useful feedback to designers and operators about specific aspects of building design features and operating strategies, and is used as a diagnostic tool to identify specific problems and their sources.
