Reducing environmental Impact through space planning and flexibility

TRANSCRIPT

  • 1.An introduction to Kinnarps

2. 3. 4.

  • Manufacturer of ergonomic work furniture
  • Producer of furniture for offices, education and care.
  • Family owned since 1943
  • Largest in Scandinavia, 3 rdor 5 thin Europe
  • 300 million turnover

5. Design Philosophy

    • Affordable ergonomics
    • Places user at centre of all product development
    • Lower cost of well designed ergonomic solutions
    • Reduce costs that dont add to the product
      • Logistics
      • In sourcing
      • Materials
      • Economies of scale

Design Philosophy 6. Culture

  • Strong emphasis on sustainability and ergonomics even by Scandinavian standards
    • Sustainability is seen as what makes sense
    • Has evolved in an agricultural community and has a similar attitude of stewardship of the land

7. Reducing environmental Impact through space planning and flexibility 8. Space planning & ergonomics

  • Space is expensive; whether you use it to meet in, to store in or to work in.Dynamic planning, careful specification and innovative ideas will reduce your costs and your carbon footprint. Here are some ideas to get you started:
  • 01 Introduce shared workspace Introduce hot desking where people dont have a fixed desk but share resources when they are in the office - to reduce your overall footprint and save property costs
  • 02 Create flexible spaces Adapt rarely used space such as canteens or meeting rooms into flexible areas that can become office space. This will reduce your overall need for space, thus reducing your energy bills.
  • 03 Optimise the office layout Review the total needs of your office and how best to use the space available for the tasks, people and their roles. Good space planning will result in savings.
  • 04 Introduce flexible meeting Lots of large meeting rooms maybe unnecessary. Use different height meeting options standing tables, small benches with stools etc . This will keep your meetings short, sharp and effective and reduces the need for visitor seating and large rooms.
  • 05 Go digital Use digital media, rather than paper storage. By opting for specialist inserts in cabinets you can reduce the volume of paper storage required and the overall floor-plan you need. It will save both property costs and residuals costs..
  • 06 Annexe the ArchivePut archive storage in areas that are seldom used. An archive storage area may only be visited infrequently and does not need to be lit or heated to the same degree as the common working areas
  • 07 Keep heating systems clear Do not plan furniture in front of heat sources. Blocking radiators or grills will make the heating / ventilation systems inefficient and have to work harder wasting energy and costing more.
  • 08 Keep windows free Avoid tall furniture at windows and glass partitions. Windows let in natural energy in the form of sunlight and heat. Solutions are now available to store heat radiation from windows, thus reducing your heating costs.
  • 09 Use Carpets to good effect Carpets create a warm and comfortable feeling as well as adding acoustic benefits. In rooms with solid floors approx 10-12% more of the heat is lost through the floor
  • 10 Use the stairs. Use the lift less. OK this may be obvious, but good exercise contributes to good ergonomic practice and of course using the lift less means less energy use.

9. The easiest way to reduce the environmental impact of your workplace?

  • Cut it in half!

10. Topics

  • Workplace analysis
  • Occupancy
  • Flexile working

11. Workplace trends

  • Older workforce
  • More inclusive workplace
  • Environmental issues just part of everyday life
  • Blurred boundaries between corporate and personal life
  • Flexible or Tele-working more prevalent
  • Technology continues to evolve,
    • VoIP will mean the phone will disappear from desks
    • Wirless networks the norm in offices
  • Younger generation with different skills and aspirations X-box generation

12. Look at what you have now

  • Look at your existing facility and ask:
    • Does this support our current corporate strategy?
    • Does this reflect our team interactions?
    • Was it created with our current technology in mind?
    • Dont just jump onto the latest bandwagon

13. Case study 14. 15. Wave shaped bench

  • London borough of Ealing

Block Planning Hewlett Packard Zoning plan New ideas were introduced that would encourage a more flexible and productive environment 24. Existing Layout The existing space suffered from a inflexible layout , and did not give the client the density they needed 25. 26. Storage Audit 27. Get things off the desk

  • Monitor arm & CPU holder
    • Use space below monitor
    • Better ergonomics
  • Shelves
  • Filing frames
  • Pen pots
  • CD racks

This would be like a town centre, bringing people together and providing a first port of call when entering the floor. 40. RSA Glasgow
