Description du projet
Recommandations pour l’adaptation de l’architecture des lieux de travail
La plupart des travailleurs sont insatisfaits de l’aménagement de leur lieu de travail, qui nuit à leur santé, à leur bien-être, à leur productivité et à leurs relations sociales. Bien que diverses technologies adaptatives sur le lieu de travail visent à gérer ces risques, leur impact individuel et commun sur la santé et le bien-être des travailleurs n’est pas encore clair. Le projet SONATA, financé par l’UE, vise à formuler des recommandations fondées sur des données probantes quant à la manière dont l’adaptation architecturale peut être bénéfique pour la santé et le bien-être des personnes dans divers contextes de travail hybrides. Le projet mesurera, quantifiera et élargira l’éventail des avantages de l’adaptation architecturale pour la santé et le bien-être, et générera des connaissances empiriques sur la manière dont les adaptations multiples devraient être combinées pour maximiser ces avantages. En outre, il veillera à ce que les prestations soient réparties de manière équitable entre les travailleurs d’un lieu de travail partagé.
Objectif
The majority of workers express dissatisfaction with their shared workplace design, which harms their health, wellbeing, productivity and social relations. So-called ‘adaptive’ workplace technologies try to manage these health risks by automating a wide range of architectural building services. However, there is severe lack of concrete evidence on how the short- and longer-term impact of such adaptive architectural technologies on health and wellbeing can be objectively measured, and then become benchmarked and optimized for a variety of hybrid workplace contexts.
SONATA therefore aims to generate evidence-based recommendations on the use of architectural adaptation as technological intervention that can benefit human health and well-being in the workplace. Firstly, SONATA aims to measure, quantify and increase the range of health and well-being benefits of the separate and combined effects of state-of-the-art architectural adaptations on four different building shearing layers. Secondly, SONATA will generate empirical knowledge on how these multiple co-located adaptations can be intertwined together so that their health and wellbeing impact is greater than the sum of the separate layers. Lastly, SONATA investigates how these positive effects can become equitably negotiated between the varying - and often conflicting - work situations that must co-exist in a shared workplace.
To ensure the resulting recommendations are feasible, easily adoptable and cost-effective to implement, SONATA will involve the pro-active participation and critical analysis from a well-considered selection of key target group representatives, such as workers, OSH-responsibilities, OEM and OHP experts, architects, workplace organisation innovators, adaptive technology manufacturers, and building certification consultants.
