In recent years, the importance of pre-verifying the status of wireless communications has increased for designing offices. Because wireless communication is used for various purposes in offices, this technology has become a basic infrastructure for business. Therefore, when building a new office or renovating an office, verifying the impact on radio waves while designing the workspace is paramount. However, no highly accurate simulation tools for radio waves are available that can be easily used by office planners, who do not possess expert knowledge of radio waves. To address this challenge, we propose smart office planning system that can be linked to a radio wave emulation system that can verify radio wave propagation and communication behavior with high accuracy and can be easily used by office planners. This paper presents the results of a usability evaluation of a smart office planning system. As a result, users could easily set simulation scenario by preparing a general-purpose template option and could evaluate the state of wireless communication by using 2 visualization strategies: a three-dimensional visualization that simultaneously presents the three-dimensional structure of the office space, radio propagation, and communication behavior, and a two-dimensional visualization that visualizes problems affecting the quality of work. Moreover, in the future, by integrating the smart office planning system with the radio wave emulation system, office planners will presumably be able to verify the effects of workspace design on radio waves in advance, thereby reducing the man-hours required for office construction and ensuring adequate communication quality in the workspace.
