The Value of green spaces
Using gensler lA office as a case
study we found that could save
enough money in 10 years to pay
for a new building.
Here is what it took:
+1% Productivity
-1 sick day
+2 more hours per month
-10% reduced churn/turnover

Process + Tools
HigH PerFOrmAnce Design is about
a process that involves a higher level of
understanding of the environment, how
people really work, and how design affects
both energy and people.
