What percentage of our time is spent indoors?

Explanation:
Most people spend about 90% of their time indoors. This reflects how much of our daily life happens inside buildings—at work, school, home, and in many services we use—so indoor environmental quality has a large impact on health, comfort, and well-being. The other options underestimate or overstate typical exposure: 100% indoors isn’t realistic because we do spend time outdoors for commuting, leisure, and errands; 70% or 50% would imply more outdoor time than is usually the case for a typical day.
