The evolution of our work environments has undergone tremendous alterations and hasalways resembled the contemporary lifestyle in our society. From modular cells, open planspaces to today’s emerging remote work practice. This thesis studies the recent shift ofworking remotely from the homes of three Swedish employees who reside in differentbuildings located in the Stockholm area and the effects of their indoor environments on theirwell-being, comfort, and particularly for this study – their productivity. The terminologyindoor environmental quality (IEQ) is accentuated and the means of finding a linkagebetween the central aspects of this domain that characterizes the indoor spaces of thestudied homes and the productivity of the employees in question working remotely in thesespaces is investigated.The study scrutinizes the act of self-assessing the indoor climate and workproductivity through an extensive literature review and a constructed questionnaire that iscomplemented by building performance simulations made in IDA ICE version 5.1 toevaluate the indoor environmental qualities of each space that is used as a workstation bythe occupants. An attempt to erect a new comfort index that comprises indoor climate,occupant satisfaction and productivity rates is also employed by the name of ‘burdenpoints’ in order to map the associations each IEQ parameter has with work performanceand the overall well-being.The results reveal that momentaneous overheating is a common denominator in allhomes where remote work was practiced. The burden points also revealed that not onlythermal comfort, but also acoustic comfort places a strain on occupant satisfaction andwork productivity. Individual differences are analyzed and building specific attributes arelinked to certain interruptions and moments of irritation.
