Analysis of Short Time Pauses in Office Work

摘要

To optimize the balance between intelligent productivity and energy use in office building, we should clear the mechanism of productivity variation. For this purpose, the author had been proposed a productivity variance model. The model is two state transit model based on short time pauses. This model can explain the productivity variation in subjective experiment result. But in some cases, the explanation is insufficient. In this study, authors conducted a subjective experiment to discuss with an analysis of distribution of short pauses for improving the model. Analysis of the examination result revealed that the distribution of short time pause has two peaks. Second peak which means little longer pauses is smaller than first one. But the effect size to productivity is larger. And the shape assumed lognormal distribution. This result revealed some of mechanism of productivity variation and proposed model got more accuracy.
