The facility will make small variations to the environment &ndash; in lighting, air quality and noise levels, for example &ndash; and monitor how they affect workers&rsquo; health, happiness and productivity. The research findings will be used to change the way future buildings are designed.</p></em><br /><br /><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <html><head><meta></head></html>
