Can better thinking and better health be found in green-certified buildings?
1 All high-performing buildings surpassed ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010 minimum acceptable person ventilation requirement and with low (<250 µg/m3) total volatile organic compound concentrations. 2 Green-certified buildings were certified under the USGBC® Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design® (LEED®) rating system.

Baseline
Leverage well-integrated solutions with the help of optimal use of information and planning.
Pay attention to situations at hand.
Gear decision-making toward overall goals.
Plan, stay prepared and strategize under
emergency conditions.
3 As defined by ASHRAE 55-2004; this is the range of temperatures and humidities within which less than 10% of occupants report being dissatisfied with thermal conditions.

A larger contrast between
daytime light exposure and
night-time light exposure
results in more melatonin,
a hormone that promotes
sleepiness, being released in
the evening (Takasu et al. 2006)

certified buildings
�Buildings impact cognitive function� COGfx: IEQ Study- Controlled setting,
individual parameters+
� COGfx: Buildingomics-Real-world setting, holistic approach
� The impact of buildings extends beyond working hours
�Designing to code is not enough
Implications
1 All high-performing buildings surpassed ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010 minimum acceptable person ventilation requirement and with low (<250 µg/m3) total volatile organic compound concentrations.
Conclusions
In certified buildings:
�Improved perception of IEQ
�Fewer symptoms
�Higher cognitive function scores
�Better sleep score
