研究背景居住在为促进健康和连通性而设计的新型、积极设计的办公楼为评估室内环境对健康行为、久坐和工作场所感知的影响提供了机会。目的是确定搬到促进健康的办公楼是否改变了工作场所的体力活动、久坐行为、工作场所感知和生产力。搬迁到一个新的活跃的设计大楼。在同意后，参与者在搬家前2个月和搬家后2个月完成了一份在线问卷。与健康行为（体力活动和坐着的时间），肌肉骨骼问题，对办公室环境，生产力和engagement.Results的看法有34名参与者（60%，年龄在25-45岁，78%的女性，84%的全职工作）的问题; 21名参与者提供了完整的数据。结果表明，搬迁后，参与者坐着的工作时间减少（83-70%; P < 0.01），站立的时间增加（9-21%; P < 0.01），而步行时间保持不变。参与者报告腰痛较少（P < 0.01）。在新工作场所，60%的参与者在开放式办公室，而搬迁前这一比例为16%。参与者认为新的工作环境更刺激，照明和通风更好，但噪音更大，存储空间更少。每日体力活动，爬楼梯或productivity.Conclusions移动到一个积极的设计建设似乎有身体健康促进工人的影响，但工人对新的工作环境的看法各不相同。这些结果将为其他新建筑的未来研究提供信息。
Background Occupying new, active design office buildings designed for health promotion and connectivity provides an opportunity to evaluate indoor environment effects on healthy behaviour, sedentariness and workplace perceptions.Aims To determine if moving to a health-promoting building changed workplace physical activity, sedentary behaviour, workplace perceptions and productivity.Methods Participants from four locations at the University of Sydney, Australia, relocated into a new active design building. After consent, participants completed an online questionnaire 2 months before moving and 2 months after. Questions related to health behaviours (physical activity and sitting time), musculoskeletal issues, perceptions of the office environment, productivity and engagement.Results There were 34 participants (60% aged 25-45, 78% female, 84% employed full-time); 21 participants provided complete data. Results showed that after the move participants spent less work time sitting (83-70%; P < 0.01) and more time standing (9-21%; P < 0.01), while walking time remained unchanged. Participants reported less low back pain (P < 0.01). Sixty per cent of participants in the new workplace were in an open-plan office, compared to 16% before moving. Participants perceived the new work environment as more stimulating, better lit and ventilated, but noisier and providing less storage. No difference was reported in daily physical activity, number of stairs climbed or productivity.Conclusions Moving to an active design building appeared to have physical health-promoting effects on workers, but workers' perceptions about the new work environment varied. These results will inform future studies in other new buildings.
