Journal Title: Revista Científica Retos de la Ciencia - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The construction industry has been promoting green building ratings and certification systems as an instrument of environmental sustainability. Despite this promotion, there is evidence of indifference, apathy and skepticism of saving behavior. In this framework, alliances between psychology and architecture have contributed to the analysis of the behavior of office workers in the workplace of Quito, Ecuador. This research verified the extent to which the environmental awareness of office workers is inherent to the green building standards. The methodology measured saving behaviors, patterns of electronic equipment usage and the level of environmental awareness through online surveys that were distributed by QR code to the participants. The surveys were based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TCP) interrelating psychosocial factors for the promotion of saving behaviors. Subsequently, the results were processed by statistical methods. Results have shown that 9 out of 10 office workers consider that saving energy is not relevant, therefore their savings levels are low. Thus, the majority do not disconnect electronic equipment in work spaces, despite this behavior, 69% are willing to integrate ecological environmental education practices. This volitional change acquires significance by applying a sustainable and institutionalized multi-commitment vision as this research proposes.
