Description
This study assesses students’ perceptions of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in classroom settings at Dennis Osadebay University, Asaba, Nigeria, focusing on factors influencing their general comfort and learning conditions. Using structured questionnaires, data were collected from students across multiple faculties within the university to evaluate their satisfaction with thermal comfort, air quality, lighting, and noise levels. The questionnaire included rating scales and open-ended questions to capture both quantitative and qualitative insights. Results indicate varying levels of comfort, with notable concerns related to thermal conditions and indoor air quality during certain periods. The findings highlight the importance of integrating occupant feedback through questionnaires to identify comfort challenges and inform improvements in classroom environmental management. This study underscores the value of student-centered evaluations in creating healthier and more conducive learning environments at Dennis Osadebay University and similar Nigerian higher education institutions.
