Chapter 4 .Fieldwork
4.2 Interviews The first part of the fieldwork was conducted through a series of interviews with the occupants with the aim of understanding occupant behaviour and their interaction with the built. This helped in gaining an insight of their adaptive opportunities, their aspirations, socially driven preferences, grievances and advantages. Method: The method of occupant feedback was conducted via informal interviews with the occupants and enhanced by an occupant survey, details of which can be found in the appendix. The summary of the percentage of satisfaction versus dissatisfied occupants with respect to the thermal comfort inside their unit is represented in the pie chart :
satisfied, 31%
not satified , 69%
