The aim of the project is to analyse relationships between environmental conditions at workplaces and comfort, satisfaction and performance of employees. The final objective is the development of guidelines to design new offices, as well as to convert existing ones into smart and sustainable offices considering energy efficiency as one of the premises taken as a basis. The project partners are conducting this research by monitoring offices in their respective regions, on order to evaluate the effect of different climate conditions. The monitoring consists of obtaining indoor environmental quality data, such as lighting, humidity, air velocity, air quality, noise, employees’ location, ergonomics, mobility, etc., as well as information about well-being, comfort and performance of employees through the use of surveys, diary studies and observation methods.
