Decoupling Office Energy Efficiency From Employees' Well-Being and Performance: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Energy efficiency (i.e., the ratio of output of performance to input of energy) in office buildings can reduce energy costs and CO 2 emissions, but there are barriers to widespread adoption of energy efficient solutions in offices because they are often perceived as a potential threat to perceived comfort, well-being, and performance of office users. However, the links between offices' energy efficiency and users' performance and well-being through their moderators are neither necessary … Show more

“…Particularly, giving decision-making authority to robots may lead to negative individual emotional and cognitive reactions (Gombolay & Shah, 2014). Furthermore, our results are consistent with reactance theory (Brehm, 1966) and related empirical studies (Kozusznik et al, 2019;McCoy & Evans, 2005) showing that limited control at work has negative consequences for wellbeing. More specifically, in the domain of human-robot collaboration, researchers (Złotowski et al, 2017) explain that user reactance to autonomous robots is based on the notion of the importance of power in social interactions.…”

“…Buildings for office space are a significant expense for businesses, yet, if used efficiently, also a resource that can be optimised to deliver real benefits in employee satisfaction, resulting in increased performance and well-being. Energy efficient solutions in offices, however, are sometimes perceived as a potential threat to perceived comfort, well-being, and performance of office users [ 106 ]. Productivity is a difficult concept to measure empirically, especially with regard to workers' output.…”

“…To overcome this issue, researchers often measure workers' perception of productivity, and how it relates to their working environment. According to [ 106 ], staff productivity and output can be improved by providing a more comfortable working environment. Therefore, improving energy efficiency not only can save money for the business, but it can also improve working conditions which can potentially increase staff productivity.…”

“…Generally, office environments need careful daylighting design due to their function [6,[8][9][10]. Employees' productivity in offices directly affects the organization's financial efficiency and overall growth [11][12][13]. At the same time, the minimum possible energy should be used in these environments [14].…”
