Though saving energy and boosting market value may be more than sufficient reasons for following green building standards, it turns out that green buildings may also contribute to a happier and more productive workforce.
Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) and the National Research Council (NRC) Canada analyzed anonymous data from more than 40,000 RBC employees across 70+ RBC office buildings. They found that workers in green buildings were more satisfied in their work, were better engaged and committed, and scored higher on management-assessed performance. In short, they did their jobs better, and were happier to do so.
