Abstract

Moving office organizations and staff culture towards sustainable practices requires a multifaceted and integral approach. In this paper a model with four focal areas for
influencing practices is presented. The focal areas are: (i) bottom-up interventions aimed at promoting the adoption of sustainable practices through co-design, (ii)
exploring new opportunities for awareness generation, by providing user centric tools and reflective interfaces, (iii) up-scaling, with a focus on how to transform group level
changes in practices across the organization, (iv) top-down, which implies creating policy and recognition to promote sustainable practices. The four focal areas have
been derived from a series of ongoing pilot studies in the field using co-design methods.
