Satisfaction with functionality regarding indoor environmental factors before and after change. The ratings of traditional concept (assigned consultation rooms and workstations) at baseline are compared separately with ratings of non-assigned consultation rooms (n = 27) and activity-based workspaces at follow-up (n = 24)
