| Summary: | This research investigates the impact of thermal comfort on human productivity in a government office. Pejabat Tanah Daerah Hilir Perak is the study location, where both objective measurements and subjective survey responses are used to assess working conditions and employees’ perceptions. The study focuses on environmental factors for example temperature, relative humidity, air movement, sound intensity, and lighting levels. The findings reveal that comfortable temperatures within the recommended range and a mechanical ventilation system contributed to effective temperature regulations. The survey findings indicated that employees’ perceptions of thermal comfort, lighting, cleanliness, and ergonomic features influenced their performance. On the other hand, airflow velocity and environmental controls can enhance their productivity in government offices. The significance of these research findings is they serve as the foundation for future improvements in thermal comfort and enhance the overall organization's performance. |
