Abstract
While indoor environment quality (IEQ) measurement is an established process, it omits thes ensory pleasure of interior environments, possibly due to perceived subjectivity in the context of objective productivity. Given the significant commercial interior renovation industry, the developing evidence linking sensory pleasure to thermal comfort, the known complexity of indoor habitation, and the growth of large data set analysis, there exists an opportunity to expand the scope of IEQ appraisal.Drawing on the interior architecture discipline and its holistic ‘interiority’, this speculative paper presents a high‐level content analysis of selected texts and identifies candidate sensory quality variables for future use in environment quality measurement. The intention of this process is to translate across the interior architecture and architectural science disciplines by quantising interior architecture perspectives into measurable variables. These broader candidate variables would likely be more inclusive of the lived experience and agency of occupants of interior spaces and offers extended complex indoor environment quality data collection for future use in advanced statistics.
