ActiveWorkSpace – Environmental satisfaction in active-based offices

We develop spatial solutions that support well-being at work

Spatial Solutions for Environmental Satisfaction, Well-being and Work Engagement in Activity-based Offices. Space, lighting and acoustics supporting flexible working and workspace choice

The aim of the project is to identify central features of spatial solutions in activity-based offices that support employees’ environmental satisfaction, well-being at work and work engagement.

Project includes both laboratory experiments and field interventions about the effects of environmental factors on environmental satisfaction. Furthermore, the efficiency of various room acoustic factors to solve the problems related to noise and speech privacy are investigated.

Academy of Finland has published a public description of the consortion project.
