Abstract: Investigators are interested in the environmental quality of interior spaces. At present, scholars have developed limited metrics in assessing interior environments. For our study, we examined the environmental quality of residential environments in Holland, Michigan. We examined houses in four separate age groups; 1900 to 1930, 1940 to 1965, 1965 to 1985, and 1989 to 2050. In addition, we examined the age groups based upon size of the house: under 111.48 m2 (1200 sq. ft.) and over 185.8 m2 (2000 sq. ft) for a total of eight treatments. Three houses were measured in each treatment. Fourteen variables were measured in each structure. Friedman's analysis of variance was employed to assess the statistical difference between the treatments. The results revealed that homes built from 1965 to 1985 with over 185.8 m2 were healthier (p<0.05). The least healthy homes were those aged from 1903 to 1940, and 1940 to 1965 and smaller than 111.48 m2. We encourage investi!
gators to assess other types of residential environments.
