This book brings together concepts from the building,
environmental, behavioural and health sciences to provide an
interdisciplinary understanding of office and workplace design.
Today, with changes in the world of work and the relentless surge
in technology, offices have emerged as the repositories of
organizational symbolism, denoted by the spatial design of offices,
physical settings and the built environment (architecture, urban
locale). Drawing on Euclidian geometry that quantifies space as the
distance between two or more points, a body of knowledge on office
buildings, the concept of office and office space, and the
interrelationships of spatial and behavioural attributes in office
design are elucidated. Building and office work-related illnesses,
namely sick building syndrome and ailments arising from the indoor
environment, and the menace of musculoskeletal disorders are the
alarming manifestations that critically affect employee
satisfaction, morale and work outcomes. With a focus on office
ergonomics, the book brings the discussion on the fundamentals of
work design, with emphasis on computer workstation users. Strategic
guidance of lighting systems and visual performance in workplaces
are directed for better application of ergonomics and improvement
in office indoor environment. It discusses the profiles of
bioclimatic, indoor air quality, ventilation intervention, lighting
and acoustic characteristics in office buildings. Emphasis has been
given to the energy performance of buildings, and contemporary
perspectives of building sustainability, such as green office
building assessment schemes, and national and international
building-related standards and codes. Intended for students and
professionals from ergonomics, architecture, interior design, as
well as construction engineers, health care professionals, and
office planners, the book brings a unified overview of the health,
safety and environment issues associated with the design of office
buildings.
