Saint-Gobain Announces Results of North American Headquarters Occupant Comfort Study

Saint-Gobain, in partnership with the University of Oregon’s High Performance Environments Lab (HiPE), announced the results of its North American Headquarters Occupant Comfort Study. The longitudinal study, the first of its kind based on size and scale, revealed that a systems-based design approach utilizing multiple solutions and strategies can have a stronger collective impact on a building’s ability to optimize occupant comfort. The findings also point to the need to move away from a traditional prescriptive design model that relies on one building solution to achieve overall multi-comfort and satisfaction.
