indoor environment

Enclosed living area

An indoor environment is any enclosed space within a building or structure, as opposed to outdoors.

The term appears in discussions of air quality, climate control, and workplace safety: Studies link poor indoor environments to respiratory problems.

Indoor environments include homes, offices, schools, and factories—anywhere humans spend time under a roof.
