Welcome,

This is the registration for Philip White workshop "Green Office Behavior Workshop, Designing Research To Understand Behaviors And Perceptions"

Friday, April 9 at 9:00AM – 10:30AM.

Workshop description:

This practicum allows small groups to consider research approaches to understand how behaviors in the office and related work-domains influence ecological impacts. Various office activities have different environmental implications; a range of potential alternative behaviors may reduce these ecological impacts. A crucial component of successful adoption of new behaviors and technologies is a clear understanding of behaviors in the office and perceptions about alternative ways of working and alternative technical solutions.

After a sampling of ecologically significant office activities will be analyzed for their ecological impacts, a template of research approaches will be described. Small groups will be guided through the process of mapping the ecological impacts of discrete workspace services, and supported through steps to plan the most effective sequence of research methods to understand user perceptions about the office activities.

Approaches to structure the research process that are explored in this workshop can be applied to other ecologically significant activities after the workshop.
