A Vibrasure produced video on floor vibration and walker speed. It turns out that pace is by far the most-important parameter in predicting walker-generated floor vibrations. So, how fast do people really walk in buildings, anyway? 

Even in buildings with cutting-edge imaging suites, there’s often tens or hundreds of square feet of laboratory and office space for every square foot of basement-level SEM/TEM Room space. That means that our job isn’t finished when we’ve made the electron microscopes and scanning probes happy; we still need to make everyone upstairs comfortable and productive, too.
