Affinities between the work patterns: environmental systems

This chapter looks at the affinities between the work patterns and both HVAC and lighting systems. Figure 49 provides a simple and effective way of understanding the most natural affinities between the work pattern, the HVAC systems, and different types of space layout (an open plan versus a cellular space layout is indicated where relevant for each work pattern). This reference to cellular is not to be confused with the cell work pattern. In this context it means an environment which is either divided by full height or very high partitions. The explanations for these affinities are given in the next few pages.
