Fueled by a desire for collaborative team experiences, Workplace design is experiencing a move away from personal offices to an open concept. This new layout enables views of 70 to 90 percent of occupied spaces, pushing the conference rooms and closed offices to the core and placing workstations at the perimeter.
The open office concept inspires mechanical designers to find innovative solutions in order to provide adequate ventilation, and heating and cooling for these large open spaces to support increased efficiency and personal comfort.
