Abstract

The work now being carried out by the Building Research Station on the problems of work in offices has arisen from a series of more general studies of the office environment (Langdon 1959, 1963, 1965; Collins & Langdon 1960; Langdon & Keighley 1964) in the course of which the attitudes of office workers toward the social, functional and physical features of their surroundings were related to measurements of the main physical aspects, such as space, lighting, heating, noise and so on. The principal aim of these inquiries was to reveal particular problems associated with the type of office being studied, and to assess physical standards as related to comfort and satisfaction, particularly when these could not be defined operationally.
