Final Research Paper for ARCH249: Green Workplace

CREATING A GREEN WORKPLACE -  INCREASING SUSTAINABILITY PARTICIPATION AND AWARENESS IN THE WORKPLACE

INTRODUCTION / ABSTRACT

With the recent achievements in energy efficiency for lighting and HVAC systems, plug loads are the next source of energy consumption to improve (Kaneda 2010). However, because plug loads depend on user behavior and actions rather than building management, it requires the education and training of the building occupants to achieve reductions in energy usage. At the same time, this need for retraining creates opportunities for developing a more sustainable workplace culture. The goal of this paper is to look at the role of worker interaction and participation in meeting sustainability goals and instituting energy efficient practices. Using the psychological framework of motivation and strategies for implementing change in the workplace, user participation and interaction methods such as energy visualization, gamification, and social media applications will be evaluated. Ultimately, successful strategies rely on effective implementation within the company as well as having a variety of communication and strategy types.
