dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research focuses on the impact of indoor air quality on office environments and explores the potential of biophilic design to improve air quality and enhance the well-being and productivity of office workers. The study examines the pollutants present in office spaces, with a particular emphasis on the contribution of human activities to air pollution. It highlights the importance of good ventilation and identifies plants as a potential solution for improving air quality and creating a healthier work environment. The research draws on existing literature on biophilic design and conducts case studies to provide practical examples of how biophilic elements can be implemented in office spaces. The study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between indoor air quality, biophilic design, and the well-being of office workers. Ultimately, it seeks to provide insights and recommendations for implementing biophilic design principles in office environments to enhance air quality and create more productive and healthy workspaces. Keywords: Indoor air quality, office environments, biophilic design, human well-being, productivityen
