The days are longer in the Western hemisphere, Sunni and warm. This bright summer days have a bigger impact than you can think of workforce and in the physical office. The clear ones are longer in the office due to the strike and fewer people. However, when everyone is in the office, there is a common human habit of frequent sight in the summer. One who violates employee productivity and increases the carbon emissions of a building.
Productivity killer? Sunlight. No one is against this, but the sun is the highest and hottest, solar glow and exploitation room, and the heating workers who penetrate glass panels in the buildings of employees call to leave their own tables. They either violate or leave another area of the office, colleagues or colleagues. Meanwhile, the air conditioner continues to blast, delete untreated areas, to wastage energy, increase operating costs and improve the co-building of the building.
Office Insight Reduces Carbon Waste
The building can help reduce these wastes, including about 40% of the world’s carbon emissions, heat, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and ideas related to human behavior in the office. This issue is not new, but the information to prove the impact of the workforce and the planet is not recently opened.
For example, a global, well-known Silicon Valley technological company, looked in how the workforce uses the office. The goals were to improve cooperation, productivity and energy efficiency.
The company installed sensors that unite AI and body heat sensation technology to understand anonymous human movements in the office. The great technological company identified 3-month office information and human-occupied patterns. The analysis caused special recommendations to improve the energy efficiency of the company office.
The following are the actual recommendations from the report:
- Weekday morning and evenings: Hvac Setpoints after 8:00 p.m. After 8:00 pm, saturation rates decrease in consistently.
- Midweek Daytime control: Reduce Airflow airline up to 50% outside the following high demand periods
This information can also be used to make decisions related to window shadows, insulations and lighting.
Office layout affects productivity
The technological company was also able to influence the workers moving around the office and influence the workers and interaction among the employees.
True information will be able to describe visually without determining personal persons in the corporate culture and employee engagement. The deeds are more perceived than any opinion that an employee questionnaire can offer.
For example, the frequency of impossible meetings based on the violations of the chairs. In addition, when a short time, the majority of people gathered in the hallway, especially when the collection is not held in the upper part of the hour or half an hour.
From the prospect of a labor force, office schemes also affect productivity and energy efficiency. This reality is not lost in employers and property managers in accordance with the latest JLL Global office adaptation Nave Guide 2025. The report focuses on the office, employee experience and durability performance to invest in high quality work areas. This explains why the average global office is growing for the adaptation costs.
Understand the needs of the workforce
However, the final design trends may not match the workforce needs and / or reflect corporate culture. For example, another concept of technological company from the sensors, was to separate the conference rooms for individuals themselves. It is associated with the meeting area for others and puts unnecessary requirements for the assigned HVAC system to place large groups. The open office layout is an indicator that increases the level of noise and helps the work that attract attention.
You can better understand how the workforce is using the office without hiding from the office. The effects of residence, foot traffic, human interaction and energy consumption, even more comfortable, productive and energy efficient offices. And before providing an expensive office, the building with this knowledge may make a great difference in ensuring that employees adapt to employees with the needs of employees with the needs of the workforce.
