Workplaces are transforming from office rooms to office landscapes.

An exploratory study, in a mix method design, including IE measurements and user perception about the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of the office landscape is performed. Objective IE data showed a discrepancy with how office users experienced the IEQ; therefore, both the Dutch Building Code and user perception need to be considered.
