Previous studies proofed that biophilic design in workplaces benefits both psychological and physiological health [60, 61, 62, 63]. This study is a questionnaire survey that focus on investigating the subjective evaluation on workplace biophilic design and of workers. Physiological measurements will be included in the future study to investigate the impacts of the psychological factors on physiological comfort. References: Lei, Q.H., Yuan, C., Lau, S.S.Y., 2021.
In the subscale nature relatedness, 62.2% and 61.7% of workers responded (agree/strongly agree) that their actions affect the environment (NR2-Q13), and they take notice of the wildlife in their daily lives (NR3-Q14).
