Descrizione del progetto
Raccomandazioni per gli adattamenti architettonici sul luogo di lavoro
Gran parte dei lavoratori è insoddisfatta della progettazione del proprio luogo di lavoro e ritiene che danneggi la salute, il benessere, la produttività e le relazioni sociali. Esistono diverse tecnologie adattive per gestire questi rischi, ma il loro impatto individuale e congiunto sulla salute e sul benessere dei lavoratori non è ancora stato chiarito. Il progetto SONATA, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di produrre raccomandazioni basate su dati empirici per adattamenti architettonici che giovino alla salute e al benessere umano in diversi contesti di lavoro ibridi. Il progetto misurerà, quantificherà e amplierà la gamma di benefici per la salute e il benessere derivanti dall’adattamento architettonico e genererà conoscenze empiriche su come massimizzarli unendo vari adattamenti. Inoltre, garantirà che i vantaggi siano distribuiti in modo equo tra i lavoratori nei luoghi di lavoro condivisi.
Obiettivo
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.
