Summary:

In this study, I ask office building tenants whether a building’s environments would impact their productivity at the workplace. Multilevel logistic regression analysis is employed to identify which sustainable building attributes are significantly associated with their perceptions. The findings indicate that 58% of respondents recognize that a building’s environments influence their productivity. When it comes to individual attributes, the analysis reveals that those who are willing to pay more for better access to natural light, improved indoor air quality, individual temperature control, and green (non-toxic) cleaning are more likely to agree with the proposition that a building’s environments affects their productivity.
