Effects of green-wall layouts on psychological and physiological responses in office environments: a virtual-environment study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Office greenery is closely related to employees' physical and mental health. Green walls have been shown to provide biophilic and emotional health benefits; however, previous studies have mostly focused on the presence or absence of green walls or on their coverage area, and have rarely examined how their overall geometric morphology differentially affects users.

Methods

In this study, we used virtual reality (VR) to construct four types of office scenarios, namely a curvilinear green wall (CGW), a linear green wall (LGW), a polyline green wall (PGW), and a no green wall condition (NGW), and evaluated their restorative effects after stress induction using MAST. On the psychological level, we adopted the Fatigue Scale FS-14 and the Restoration Outcome Scale ROS;
