Trade-off studies can be applied todefine options for the accommodation spaces. Just as the operational spacefacilities must match the on-duty requirements of the users, so mustaccommodation facilities match their basic ‘off-duty’ requirements. For example,the application of ergonomics standards to seating arrangements, etc. should beconsistent with changes in demographic characteristics (see Chap 6). Motioneffects should be minimised in galleys, where food odours may increase risk ofseasickness, and gross motor tasks are common (Figure 10-2). Noise andvibration should be minimised in sleeping quarters, to ensure effective rest.Figure 10-2: Canteen facilitiesNov 2006 Page 10-4 Issue 4
