This video introduces building physics and its relevance to office health, comfort, and productivity. Herwin Gunawan explores how the management of heat, air, moisture, sound, and light contributes to the way a workplace feels and functions.

The discussion draws attention to everyday workplace concerns, including spaces that feel too hot or too cold, poor air quality, distracting noise, and excessive energy use. These concerns provide a practical starting point for understanding why environmental performance belongs within the office design process.

For architects, interior designers, building owners, and workplace teams, the video offers a concise introduction to considering physical conditions alongside spatial layout and visual design. Its focus is on creating conditions that support people’s comfort and ability to work, with health and productivity presented as design objectives.

Part of the Herwin Gunawan Work video library, this entry reflects his focus on human-centered building performance and the coordination of environmental design considerations.
