Office building external space is an important spacial carrier of the activities of office workers, which can play a positive role in promoting physical and mental health of office workers and improving their job and life satisfaction. External space of office buildings is often regarded as the background elements of office buildings to design and construct, and related research on the demand of office workers still needs to be explored. Affected by climate, the activities of office workers in the external space of office buildings in winter cities are more restricted, while the support of external space for activities is very insufficient. In this paper we chose the external space of typical office buildings in winter cities in China as the research objects, investigated and analyzed the use of the external space in winter and the demand and satisfaction of the office workers. At last optimization strategies were put forward.
