Fig 2.
Deployment of stationary tags and immediate tracking areas.
A floor plan of a participating organisation. Black solid lines indicate walls and office structures, blue crosses indicate stationary tags and dashed red lines indicate groupings of stationary tags into non-overlapping regions denoted ‘immediate tracking areas’ with which participants can be associated.
Fig 3.
Final data structure capturing typical participant behaviour.
A participant is sitting in immediate tracking area 13, stands and walks through a connecting space to immediate tracking area 20 and stands. Later they walk back to immediate tracking area 13 through connecting space and sit back down.

Agreement with direct observations.
Fig 4.
Typical working day behaviour of a participant.
Location information against time for one working day for a single participant. Also shown is the cumulative step count on the right hand y-axis with the colour indicating activity information: red indicates sitting, blue standing and green stepping.
Table 2.
PA/ST and movement within the wider tracking area.
Fig 5.
Activity behaviour at different locations.
Distribution of distinct PA/ST behaviours across categories of location in the wider tracking area (n = 33). Each behaviour (sitting, standing, stepping, sit to stand transitions) is to be considered separately.
Fig 6.
Time reweighted activity behaviour at different locations.
Distributions of PA/ST behaviours across categories of location reweighted to counter the effect of unequal amounts of time spent in each location (n = 33).
