We agree with the comment. The means (SD) are only applied when the assumption of normality applies for the datasets. According to the quantitative results presented in Table 8, the medians (Interquartile Range, IQR) of the assessment show moderately high opinions toward the health and wellbeing of biophilic offices (HWBO), at 71.00 (8.00) (the score range from min. 20 to max. 100). Concerning the self-related evaluation scales GH and NR, the score range of GH and HR are minimum 4 to maximum 20, and the obtained results illustrate moderately high opinions, the values of 15.00 (2.00) and 14.00 (3.00) for GH and NR. The median (IQR) value of the POE scale BDE is evaluated as 42.00 (5.00) (range of total value: min. 12 to max. 60). Table 8.

Section 3.3. Although I appreciated the thoroughness to which the descriptive statistical was explained, I wasn’t convinced the mean was the best indicator for the data, considering that evaluation scores were collected on a 5-point scale and not a continuous linear one. In-lieu of the mean, please consider using the median and inter-quartile range as the central tendency and dispersion indicators. Figures 1 and 4 can be removed, as the assumption of normality no longer applies (also on P15, L399-400), or replaced with boxplots.
