Study on Ecological Design Strategy and Practice

Abstract:

This paper explains and demonstrates why uses’ needs are as important as green design principle and a good design should consider a lot on human’s feeling. It suggests that future green building will be based on principles that fundamentally address many of the issues that have become to light from this research. They will offer good working environments in which people are able to work to the best of their ability, and have the added bonus of low energy consumption.
