Table 6: _Cont1_. Perceived comfort over outdoor noise seems to have low correlation with perceived controls. The occupants were not able to control the noise levels coming from outside probably due to inefficient available control types. Noise from building systems and noise within the building correlated positively with perceived control over noise (\(r\) = 0.205 and 0.377). Moreover, the occupants were more satisfied with the noise from building systems when they had higher degree of all combined controls (\(r\) = 0.226). The highest correlation was observed (\(r\) = 0.408) between the overall noise satisfaction and perceived noise control. This indicates that the occupants are more comfortable in buildings where they perceive high degree of control over noise. The amount of privacy was found to have significant correlation with all control parameters, both single and combined, while the maximum correlation was recorded with all combined controls (\(r\) = 0.433). This implies that high degrees of personal control improve the privacy that the occupant needs. This positive relation was also observed for office layout and decoration perceived satisfaction with \(r\) = 0.403 and 0.315, respectively. As far as perceived control and the presence of health symptoms assessed through the PSI5 are concerned, a significant negative correlation was found for all control parameters, both single and combined. The combined perceived control scores exhibited a stronger negative correlation with the PSI5.
