what would be a good way to analyze and collect data on a project where i am trying to find out if whether sustainable buildings improve worker productivity (in the buildings they occupy), or not, and if it cuts utility costs, etc.
basically sustainable deisgn vs. regular building design.
how would i experiment or at least collect data? any ideas ? i want to do a project on this and have no idea on how I should go about it.
A sustainable building is known to have a lower operating cost than conventional buildings. A new one… geeze I can’t remember where I read it, in Africa somewhere, is based off Anthill construction that helps propel air through itself leading to 10% total costs for ventilation.
To collect data you would compare rates for monthly utilities between the two types of buildings and show that sustainable uses less money to upkeep than the other. As far as worker productivity there will be no way to effectively determine the effect of the building layout on this property as it is dependent on the workers and their comfort level/willingness to work.
