Electricity flows, broad casts, Wi-Fi, navigations systems, data transformation, wireless communication, and many other technologies and applications, have become vastly and dominantly existing and expanding as indispensable infrastructure in modern life all over the world. This massive and global existence implies voluminous generation and plethora of flows of electromagnetic and Radiation (EMF/R) in the Environment. This situation evidently implies that all individuals, of different ages, are always surrounded and exposed to multiple EMF/R in their living and working spaces, as well as in every public open space. This situation will be further exacerbating, due to the continuous exponential growth of technology advances, generation of new products and expansion of population of users. Within this overall context, this research is specifically concerned of spaces that relatively host high intensities of EMF/R, and also high density of exposable occupants, mainly “working Places/Spaces”, taking in consideration the adverse relation between EMF/R intensity, space size, and subsequently, exposure levels on a period of time. The research, in general investigates the potential role of the science of BioGeometry and its applications in the design of the workplace and its internal components and their validity and effectiveness in reducing/mitigating the harmful effects caused by EMF/R. The research focus on generated levels of EMF/R in workplaces, as generated by indoor local sources, their possible influences on occupants, and eventually assign substantial focus on testing the efficiency and effectiveness of developing and applying BioGeometry design techniques in mitigating the negative assessed impacts. Deep and intense literature review commenced as a major input for developing and applying the employed experimental methodology in a specifically selected usable work place. Different measures were conducted to assess and analyze the EMF/R, measure exposure levels on a controlled group of occupants. The research findings and conclusions showed positive correlation between the intensity of EMF/R in the workplace and the well-being of occupants. The research also concluded that BioGeomerty applications can contribute to improving human health and well-being in workplaces, for some attributes such as stress, energy, and organs balance, as well as mitigating some health symptoms, such as headache.
