Study on High-Performance Office Buildings

Abstract:

Since environmental impacts, economic efficiency and human healthy are crucial issues in the global context now, an increasing professional concern and interest in building performance have emerged in sustainable building field. This article aims to introduce high performance concept into office building industry. Based on demonstrating high-performance building (HPB) and distinguishing office building (OB) features, this article proposes its own high-performance office building (HPOB) definition. Furthermore, the article also identifies the benefits and discusses design principles of HPOB in order to promote HPOB application positively.
