Office design has been at the heart of debates since the emergence of office buildings. However, it was not until the second half of the 20th century that the links between the occupants and the building were established. Today, research is providing more and more hard evidence that office design affects the health, happiness, engagement and productivity of employees. Also, finding an optimal solution, which aligns people with their environment, is something that many organizations hope for.

In the building industry, actions aimed at achieving sustainable development goals are often focused on material, structural, technical and technological solutions. However, occupant behavior also plays an essential role in saving water and energy, reducing waste or improving the quality of sorting, for example. It is therefore important to make the link between the technique and the occupants, at all phases of a project, from design to operation-maintenance. It is about placing people at the heart of a building's energy and environmental performance.

Tomorrow, with the deployment of teleworking, we will go to the office to socialize and collaborate in a living space.

But collaborative for whom and to do what?
