Abstract

Indoor environment is of tremendous importance in people's daily life since it is where almost twothirds of their lifetime is spent. Current studies are mainly focused on steel concrete structured buildings, whereas very few are concerned with wooden ones. How wooden buildings benefit human beings is still not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the different psychological responses to both wooden and non-wooden indoor environments assessed by systematic and quantitative tests. Twenty participants' psychological responses were evaluated in a sixty-minute survey including the Profile of Mood States (POMS), the fatigue symptom checklist, and a subjective evaluation. The results demonstrated that more positive emotions were generated in wooden environments than in non-wooden environments during the entire experimental process. Additionally, fatigue evaluation values of wooden environments were dramatically lower than those of non-wooden environments after continuous working, which implied that the participants in wooden environments suffered from less fatigue. Compared to non-wooden rooms, wooden ones were considered as more comfortable environments, whose occupants enjoyed a more delightful sense of color, odor, and light

4. Conclusions

In the field laboratory experiment, emotion, fatigue survey, and subjective evaluation were used to evaluate the effects of wooden and non-wooden environments on psychological responses. Conclusions can be obtained as follows: 1) Participants had more positive emotions in wooden rooms, especially after working. Clear differences were shown for the sense of “tension,” “depression,” and “vigor” between wooden and non-wooden environments. 2) Working in a non-wooden environment was more likely to produce fatigue. The differences in fatigue in the two kinds of environments were clearly reflected through the symptoms of “sleep,” “yawn,” “see fuzzy,” and “eye fatigue.” 3) The survey method using emotion questionnaire and fatigue self-assessment showed that the wooden environment had the potential to restore the ability to regulate emotion and relieve stress. 4) The subjective feeling was different for the sense of color, warmth, lighting, and odor in wooden and non-wooden environments. Participants feel more warmth and brightness in wooden rooms and have sensitivity to odor, but it has little in- fluence on the comfort degree.
