Abstract:
Since the beginning of history, human beings have made great advances in technology. In the field of architecture, this movement has had reflections such as new construction and application techniques and the use of different materials. In parallel with this rapid progress in building and construction technology, solutions that meet the changing needs in architectural design have started to be offered. Aim: The aim of the research is to find out which plan type is the most preferred in terms of design in high-rise office buildings in Eskişehir road region, which attracts attention with its office building stock in Ankara, and to analyze the relationship of this plan type preference with the building's height and current value parameters. Method: Tracing method was used to find the ratio of plan types in the examined office buildings and to establish the relationship of these plan types with height and m2 current value. Then the obtained data were evaluated statistically and regression values were found by using regression analysis method. Results: In the 12 office structures examined in the study, open office (47%), mixed office (27%), closed (13%) and co-working offices (13%) were preferred, respectively. 66% of the multi-storey office buildings in the sample space of the research have a height of 100 m or more. Closed offices are the lowest value in terms of market value and mixed offices are the highest valued. Conclusion: It is understood that open-plan offices are preferred in the Ankara Eskişehir road region. As a result of the study, it has been revealed that these plan types, which are mostly used in office buildings, have a directly proportional relationship with the concept of current value per m2, but not with the height of the multi-storey building. In this respect, it is possible to say that architectural design decisions directly affect the real estate market of the country and this interaction has formed an important relationship with the country's economy by shaping the capital market.

Abstract:
Abstract High-rise office buildings are naturally energy-intensive as energy is required in large quantities to run modern building services and to power equipment needed for a hitch-free operation of the buildings. It was found in studied literature that maintaining good indoor environmental quality through air-conditioning, lighting and powering of office equipment contribute the most to an office building’s total energy consumption. Hence, over time, various strategies have been employed to reduce the intense energy demand in high-rise office buildings. This paper adopted the use of both literature review and case study methods. The paper identifies the key energy efficiency strategies that have been successfully deployed in high-rise office buildings using the literature review approach. Also, case studies were conducted on three relatively new high-rise office buildings in Lagos, Nigeria by evaluating them against the background of the best practices in energy efficiency. The study found that deployment of energy efficiency strategies in high-rise office buildings in the study area is still very low especially in the areas of building orientation, building envelope design and the use of renewable energy. However, the use of day-lighting techniques and sustainable lighting systems are quite prominent in the office buildings studied. The study underscores the need to make high-rise office buildings more sustainable through energy efficiency strategies across the whole building life cycle of design, construction, use and end of life.

Abstract:
Social progress and economic development has resulted in the need to focus on the impacts of building microenvironment on the energy consumption in office buildings. The concept of a building’s microenvironment was introduced to understand the local microclimate around a building that is formed by the surrounding urban green spaces, the distribution of roads, and building proximity. For this research, we adopted a regression analysis to quantify the impacts of building microenvironment on energy consumption in office buildings. Taking the government office buildings of Guangdong Province as an example, we measured the building microenvironment through the urban green space density, road density, and number of points of interest (POI) around the buildings. The results showed that when the green space density increased by one unit, the energy consumption in government office buildings was reduced by 0.277%. Moreover, an increase of 1% in road density and in the number of POI increased the energy consumption in government office buildings by 0.288% and 0.048%, respectively. Furthermore, we discussed the heterogeneous impacts of building microenvironment on the energy consumption in government office buildings at varying scale levels. Green space and road density had less impact on the energy consumption in larger buildings, whereas the number of POI had no significant impact on small-scale buildings but did have a significant impact on large-scale buildings. There were also some limitations in the study. The data were limited to government office buildings, and did not include panel data, as well as it lacked building characteristics such as orientation, floor height, and building materials. In addition, it was impossible to evaluate the impacts of meteorological factors such as wind speed and thermal radiation on energy consumption in buildings. Nonetheless, our study demonstrates that energy-aware urban planning and design have the potential to unlock energy efficiency for cities worldwide.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Building-related symptoms (BRSs) have emerged as an occupational and environmental health issue since the early 1970s. Office environment maintenance may differ according to the total floor area of a building, i.e., the scale of the building. Methods In this report, we examined the association between BRSs and the suspended particles, chemicals, and airborne microorganisms in air-conditioned office buildings. The surveys were conducted from January 2018 to March 2020 in 27 offices with 333 employees and in 25 offices with 342 employees during winter and summer, respectively. The office buildings were categorized into small buildings (<2000 m2, 11 offices with 96 employees during winter; 10 offices with 91 employees during summer), middle-sized buildings (2000–3000 m2, 7 offices with 145 employees; 7 offices with 158 employees), and large buildings (≥3000 m2, 9 offices with 92 employees; 8 offices with 93 employees) during winter and summer, respectively. Results Significant associations between BRSs and the suspended particles, chemicals, and airborne microorganisms were few in small buildings. Although significant associations between BRSs and suspended particles, aldehydes, volatile organic compounds, fungi, and bacteria were observed in middle-sized and large buildings during both seasons, as a whole, those concentrations did not exceed indoor air quality guidelines, suggesting being of no toxicological significance. However, the results suggested the possibility of the effects of the combined exposure to multiple aldehydes on upper respiratory symptoms. Discussion and conclusion Our data suggests that further research on the total health risk due to multiple low-level indoor pollutants is required.

Abstract:
The topic of the paper is determining the impact of an epidemic threat situation on the design of office space and office buildings. The types of actions taken to improve safety are: procedural actions, modifications of technical solutions: architectural and installation and remote work. Solutions in the field of office space architecture include: reducing the density of occupants, introducing partitions, eliminating multi-person offices, using materials that are easy to disinfect and clean, opening windows and installing personal protective equipment dispensers. The installation solutions include air quality improvement, filtration and disinfection systems as well as telecommunication installation systems supervising the use of the building. It can be expected that in the future, technical solutions will be introduced into the designs of buildings and office spaces, which will be a place for meetings, spontaneous interactions, mutual inspiration of employees and strengthening their identification with the employer whereas the ratio of office work places will be lower. The structure of the building is likely to change to a richer commertial part, a co-working part and flexible offices, and a traditional part of office space for lease, but as such office buildings will still be needed.

Abstract:
Surakarta is a city that has 54 villages/wards spreading across five sub-districts, namely: Pasar Kliwon, Jebres, Banjarsari, Laweyan, and Serengan. The buildings of ward offices in Surakarta are fascinating because they are some of the works of human culture influenced by local culture. The Joyosuran Ward Office building is Joglo, a strong Javanese nuance intended as a sign of Solo city's distinctive identity. On average, pendapa at ward offices is glass-walled and appears open with two doors at the front and the back. The function of a ward pendapa is as a meeting space, village gatherings, and other meetings. The next building is the office. The style of the ward office building in Surakarta is colonial architecture, a term for buildings with a form (or outside impression) of Nusantara's (Indonesian) architecture and modern architecture adapted to the climate, building materials, and technology developed at the current time. This research aims to find out the functions, elements of the form, and space fillers of the Joyosuran Ward Office in Surakarta. The research method used in this research is an analysis method with an interior design approach conducted at Joyosuran Ward Office in Surakarta. Data collected from informants, literature, and objects/artifacts. The results show that the functions, elements of form, and space fillers of the Joyosuran Ward Office are a public service office under the lowest government level management. The buildings are a mixture of colonial and Javanese styles. The benefits of this research's results can be an essential source of information for the development of interior design studies and cultured public buildings

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to fulfill the gap in existing knowledge of determinants of pro-environmental behavior (PEB) in the workplace and the influence of sustainability certificates on occupants’ PEBs in workplace settings. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire survey with a total of 95 respondents from both certified and noncertified office buildings was conducted. Two independent sample comparisons were executed to understand the influence of sustainable building certificates on occupants’ environmental values, beliefs, awareness and PEBs. Findings Ecocentric value, belief and awareness were found as the predictors of pro-environmental workplace behavior. Certified office occupants showed higher awareness about buildings’ environmentally oriented characteristics. Despite higher awareness, certified office occupants revealed less PEB compared to those who work in noncertified office buildings. Originality/value This study determined the influencing factors on PEBs in workplaces and PEB differences between certified and noncertified building occupants. Less PEBs of occupants in certified offices signify the misperception of individuals about sustainable buildings and the need for more informative training about sustainability issues in the society. This result also draws academic attention to sustainable building evaluation practices and provides certain insights for more occupant integrated evaluation alternative for sustainable buildings.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a conceptual framework for the introduction of daylighting considerations into the design of office buildings. Design is an intuitive process, yet the intuition must be educated by study and analysis. The framework developed in the thesis enables the systematic study of daylighting principles and techniques and is a major step towards a grasp of daylighting design. The thesis is divided into nine chapters. The introductory chapter contains a brief history of daylighting in office buildings, examines reasons for daylighting, and explains the structure of the thesis. The following chapter analyses the performance criteria that the luminous environment in office interiors must fulfill in order to provide a satisfactory performance of visual tasks and result in user acceptance. Each of the next five chapters examine specific techniques, under five general objectives: i. promoting daylight access ii. promoting daylight penetration iii. interior space planning for daylighting advantage iv. controlling brightness extremes v. integrating daylight with electrical light In each chapter, these techniques are listed in order of decreasing scale: from site planning, through building configuration and building envelope, to building interior. The thesis shows that daylighting can be incorporated into building design at various levels of commitment, ranging from a total commitment to daylighting, in which the building is conceived as "a light fixture that can be engineered to a state of optimal performance", to a minor commitment, in which, for example, perimeter lights in an otherwise standard office building design are controlled in response to daylighting needs. Furthermore, it is shown that daylighting techniques can be introduced at various scales--some techniques may modulate the massing, while others deal with specific building components. Following the study of techniques, there is a discussion on daylighting design tools and the integration of daylighting with other aspects of design. The thesis concludes that daylighting offers architects the opportunity to design office buildings so that they use less energy and, at the same time, provide a better working environment than is the case with most buildings today.

This paper is to define the demand and supply factors and to develop a system to forecast the future development of medical office buildings. At this juncture of time when the health care industry is facing historical changes due to demographic shift, economic challenges and legislative moves, understanding the market mechanism of medical office buildings that provide easy accesses for medical service to aging population, carry lower costs for health care system, and promote the preventive care in medical practices has never been more critical. Medical office buildings as a real estate product type have unique market and development mechanism. They house medical services and have commercial and retail real estate characteristics. To understand the demand and supply of medical office buildings, health care industry that provide medical services, population consuming medical services and real estate industry develop and manage the physical space need to be observed. By using panel regression to analyze historical economic, population and health care employment data across metropolitan areas, we can establish a system that explains the medical office building market. We further quantify the future medical office building demand based on the forecasted economic data and the model established in this paper. The future development of medical office buildings is intricately tied to many factors including the trends predicating the scale and speed of the development. Using the historical events as guidelines and the system established, this paper presents positive outcomes for the demand of medical office buildings under different scenarios.

Abstract:
During the current market boom, Sweden’s property market represents an attractive investment market with a continuously bright future. Stockholm contributes, according to last year's notations, to a third of Sweden’s total transaction volume and is by investors seen as the most attractive investment market in the Nordic region. While interest in investing in Stockholm's commercial property market is high, the region is facing exceptionally high numbers in population growth, which are putting pressure on the production of new housing. The amount of new construction projects in Stockholm is too low to reach the market’s demand, which encourages other options to produce new housing. In the present real estate stock for the office segment, there are several older buildings with poor economy and yields. This may be due to the property's structural conditions, floor plans and location. For properties of this kind, reconstruction to condominiums may be a viable alternative. Here, property owners have a decision to either implement a renovation to satisfy the market’s requirements for adaptable office space, or to convert into condominiums. This report presents an economic profitability analysis in converting existing office buildings into condominiums for selected sub-markets in Stockholm. Transaction prices for condominiums, office properties and standardized market valuations of office properties forms the groundwork for the analysis. This is presented in a general area analysis, which is verified by two case studies of properties in selected markets. Considering the high condominium prices in Stockholm, the region constitutes a favorable market for conversion of this type. The highest profitability has been identified in submarkets, which are AA- or A-areas for housing while at the same time C- or D-areas for offices.
Sveriges fastighetsmarknad är, under den rådande högkonjunkturen, en attraktiv investeringsmarknad med en fortsatt ljus framtid. Stockholm står, enligt fjolårets siffror, för en tredjedel av transaktionsvolymen i landet och är fortsatt den största och mest intressanta investeringsmarknaden i Norden. Samtidigt som intresset att investera i Stockholms kommersiella fastighetsmarknad är högt, står regionen inför toppnoteringar i befolkningstillväxt vilket sätter press på produktionen av nya bostäder. Antalet nybyggnationsprojekt i Stockholm är otillräckligt för att nå upp till marknadens efterfrågan, vilket uppmuntrar till andra alternativ att producera nya bostäder. I dagens fastighetsbestånd för kontossegmentet finns flertalet äldre byggnader med dålig ekonomi och avkastningskrav. Detta kan bero på fastighetens byggnadstekniska förutsättningar, planlösningar och läge. För fastigheter av detta slag kan ombyggnation till bostadsrätter vara ett lönsamt alternativ. Här står fastighetsägare inför ett val att antingen genomföra en renovering för att mäta marknadens krav för anpassningsbara kontorsytor, eller att konvertera till bostadsrätter. Denna rapport presenterar en ekonomisk lönsamhetsanalys i att konvertera befintliga kontorsfastigheter till bostadsrätter för utvalda delmarknader i Stockholm. Transaktionspriser för bostadsrätter, kontorsfastigheter, samt schabloniserade marknadsvärderingar av kontorsfastigheter ligger som grund för analysen. Denna presenteras i en generell områdesanalys som verifieras med två fallstudier av fastigheter i utvalda delmarknader. Med hänsyn till de höga bostadspriserna utgör Stockholm en gynnsam marknad för konvertering av detta slag. Störst lönsamhet har påvisats i delmarknader vilka är ett AA- eller A-läge för bostäder samtidigt som det är ett C- eller D-läge för kontor.

Abstract:
AbstractIn China's hot summer and cold winter areas, the façade design of buildings needs to respond to a variety of performance objectives. This study focuses on the optimization of daylight and solar radiation of building façade of office buildings in Nanjing and proposes a simple and efficient method. The method mainly includes a random sampling of design models, simplified operation of daylight performance criteria and selection of optimal solution. The results show that the building façade can improve the indoor lighting uniformity and reduce the indoor illumination level compared with the unshaded reference building. Besides, the amount of solar radiation received by office buildings in summer and winter becomes more balanced with the building façade. The optimization design method of building façade proposed in this study can be of guiding significance for office buildings in Nanjing.

Abstract:
Thermal comfort has been a discussed subject since 1930. Researchers have looked into understanding the thermal comfort of the occupant’s weather at home, offices, educational institution because the occupants have significant effects on their indoor environment. In this study we aim to understand the comfort temperature ranges in Mixed-mode (MM) and Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) types of office buildings in Japan. The field data is collected from six office buildings located in Aichi prefecture from July 2021 to October 2022, where 16,411 responses were collected from 46 occupants. The environmental parameters such as air temperature, relative humidity, and so on were measured along with the responses. The result suggests that the office workers are highly satisfied and they are adapted to the indoor environment, as in the MM office buildings 80 % of the occupants were comfortable at the temperature range of 19~29 °C whereas in HVAC office building this range was 22~27 °C. MM office buildings had wider range of thermal comfort zone even under HT and CL mode as compared to HVAC buildings which suggests that the MM type of buildings are better than HVAC.

Abstract:
Social, economic, and environmental benefits of sustainable buildings result in increasing demand and supply of green office space and governments adopt green buildings requirements as policy instruments. Effect of public (local, state) policies on construction and diffusion of sustainable buildings have been analyzed in few research (e.g. (Choi 2010a), (R. Simons, Choi, and Simons 2009)), demand for sustainable offices (e.g. (Zieba, Belniak, and Gluszak 2013), motivations for investing (Fuerst and McAllister 2009)(Popescu et al. 2012) were the subject of research but the impact of public policies and tools used by local governments, in the form of development plans and zoning maps, on the location decisions of investors realizing green buildings still requires more insight. The objective of this paper is to verify whether local development plans (zoning maps) facilitate location of sustainable office buildings on sites that are best-choice using the criteria of green buildings’ certification and most beneficial from the point of view of sustainable urban development. Authors assume that local governments would support choice of best sustainable location by investors, as it’s beneficial for local community, economy and environment. Also, we state that real estate developers’ choice of location is the function of firm’s own criteria, zoning map restrictions, availability of land for new developments. This paper proposes a methodology to identify the best areas to locate sustainable offices in Cracow district Zabłocie, using spatial data analysis. Zablocie was selected because the zoning map exists for the whole district and the area - postindustrial district, still provides many sites for new developments and it’s featured by high concentration of sustainable office buildings. The evaluation criteria was based on BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) green building certification categories. The data was collected and processed in ArcGIS. The locations, identified in spatial analysis process, were compared with locations available in Zablocie for commercial (office) developments as indicated by local development plan.

Full text
Abstract:
Internal heat gains from occupants, equipment and lighting contribute a significant proportion of the heat gains in an office space. Usage of ICT in offices is growing; on the other hand, their efficiency is also improving all the time. Increasing energy efficiency in buildings have led to the situation, when new, well insulated office buildings, with high internal gains within the working hours may cover low heating energy demand. Such buildings, even in heating dominated countries, such as Lithuania, often also suffer from overheating during the winter heating season. The paper presents the analysis of energy demand of the office building for various plug loads (ICT equipment) internal gains scenarios and demonstrates its influence on buildings energy performance. Simulation results enable to conclude, that when assessing sustainability and energy bills of the building, plug loads play a very important role. Meanwhile, assessing just energy performance influence is very small. Energy performance certification results show, that plug loads may influence energy performance label just for buildings corresponding A+ and A++ labels).

Abstract:
The Office of the Future (OTF) program is a new energy efficiency approach supported by a consortium of some of the nation’s largest and most progressive energy utilities. OTF targets existing multi-tenant commercial office buildings with packages of advanced energy efficiency strategies that can be applied at the tenant level for building owners. The overall goal is to assemble technical guidelines to office renovation projects that specify performance requirements for different attributes of the office (lighting, plug loads, etc.) and whole building that result in 25% and 50% savings better than code. Three pilot projects were conducted: 1. Executive office space 2. Open area office space 3. Office space with five private offices, a conference room, lobby, kitchen, and corridor The executive offices provided an opportunity to measure energy use in a 1,360 square-meters (m2) office and to undertake a relighting project that met the architectural, aesthetic, and functional demands of the space while employing current energy-efficient products and design techniques. The open area office space consisted of 745 m2 of primarily cubicle office space — half of the 12th floor of a federal building in Santa Monica, CA. The project was highly representative of the challenges and complications faced in retrofit projects in everyday office buildings. The office space with private offices involved renovating the lighting and lighting controls in a 147 m2 office space in the 41,156 m2 building, and summarized the performance of the lighting design in accordance with the OTF Technical Guidelines. In addition, this project included details regarding the pre- and post-lighting systems and controls, compares the actual metered power and energy performance of the 2008 Title 24 code baseline, presents the code calculation basis, and reveals some of the complexities associated with this approach. These pilot projects had three primary goals: 1) examine the performance characteristics of highly-controlled lighting systems in a real office environment compared to existing lighting and applicable codes, 2) monitor plug load energy use, and 3) provide measured and technical data back to OTF consortium members to inform the OTF process. The measured results of the open area office space project revealed that a high-performance lighting design with controls delivers savings considerably beyond code-calculated estimates. In fact, results show that during daytime occupied hours, the average site usage is 43% less power than code calculations. The new system reduced the connected load by 56%. Similar results were found for the other two pilot projects.

Abstract:
Building energy consumption analysis is a difficult task because it depends on the characteristics and interaction among the building, the heating/cooling system, and the surroundings (weather). Since building energy profiles are usually required on an hourly basis, which often is not available for existing buildings, the hourly energy consumption must be estimated or predicted. The dynamic behavior of the weather conditions and building operation makes computer simulations a good practice for reliable solutions. However, energy building computer simulations require considerable amount of detailed input data and user time, which is a drawback for a cost-effective solution. Therefore, simplified models based on statistics or a combination of statistics and simulations may be a better solution with reasonable uncertainty. This paper presents the tool Small Office Hourly Energy Consumption Estimator (SOHECE). The tool estimates hourly building energy consumption for small office buildings. The proposed tool has been developed in Microsoft Excel and it uses simulation data from EnergyPlus benchmark models to convert monthly energy consumption from utility bills into hourly energy consumption. Since benchmark models were developed by the U.S. government to provide a consistent baseline of comparison, energy consumption data from simulations of the benchmark models are considered reasonable representations of energy consumption profiles. Results account for baseline and variable energy consumption for electricity and fuel. The site weather conditions, for which the energy consumption is estimated, are considered using the sixteen climate zones of the U.S. benchmark models. The tool has been applied to a hypothetical building placed in Meridian, MS, and errors obtained for the estimated hourly energy consumption are mainly lower than ten percent.

Abstract:
Office workers use a variety of adaptive opportunities to regulate their indoor thermal environment. The behavioural adaptations such as window opening, clothing adjustments, and use of heating/cooling are important factors for adaptive thermal comfort. It is well-known that they are the most important contributors in the adaptive thermal comfort model. Thus, if we understand the behavioural adaptation properly, we can explain the mechanism of the adaptive model. The indoor thermal environment is often adjusted using the air conditioning in Japanese office buildings to improve thermal comfort and productivity. Thus, it is necessary to conduct research on the behavioural adaptation in the offices because the occupant behaviour is different from behaviour in dwellings. In order to record the seasonal differences in behavioural adaptation and to develop an adaptive algorithm for Japanese offices, we measured temperatures in seven office buildings and conducted the thermal comfort and occupant behaviour survey for over a year. We collected 1,228 samples. The proportion of ‘open window’ is significantly high in the free running and air conditioned modes. The behavioural adaptation is related to the outdoor air temperature. The clothing adjustments, heating and cooling use can be predicted by regression equations. These findings can be applied to building thermal simulation to predict the behavioural adaptation and energy use in office buildings.

Full text
Abstract:
A methodology is presented to analyse the thermal behaviour of buildings with the goal to quantify energy saving measures. The solid structure of the building is modelled with finite elements to fully account for its ability to store energy and to accurately predict heat loss through thermal bridges. Air flow in the rooms is approximated by a lumped element model with three dynamical nodes per room. The dynamic model also contains the control algorithm for the HVAC system and predicts the net primary energy consumption for heating and cooling of the building for any time period. The new simulation scheme has the advantage to avoid U-values and thermal bridge coefficients and instead use well-known physical material parameters. It has the potential to use 2D and 3D geometries with appropriate automatic processing from BIM models. Simulations are validated by comparison to IDA ICE and temperature measurement. This work aims to discuss novel approaches to disseminating building simulation more widely.
