The link between ergonomic/human factor and sustainability seems to be clearly evidenced mainly in relation to social dimension of sustainability, in order to contribute to assure corporate social responsibility and global value creation. But the will to establish an equilibrated connection among used resources in human activities, supported by the sustainability perspective, evidences that the contribution of ergonomics/human factors can be effectively enlarged to other aspects, especially in relation to building design. In fact a sustainable building is meant to be a building that contributes, through its characteristics and attribute, to a sustainable development by assuring, in the same time, a decrease of resources use and environmental impact and an increase of health, safety and comfort of the occupants. The purpose of this paper is to analyze in a broader sense the contribution of ergonomic/human factor to design of sustainable building, focusing how ergonomics principles, methodology and techniques can improve building design, enhancing its sustainability performance during all phases of building lifecycle.
人体工程学/人为因素与可持续性之间的联系似乎主要在可持续性的社会层面得到了明确证明，以便有助于确保企业社会责任和全球价值创造。但是，在可持续性视角的支持下，在人类活动中建立所用资源之间平衡联系的意愿表明，人体工程学/人为因素的贡献可以有效地扩展到其他方面，特别是在建筑设计方面。事实上，可持续建筑旨在通过其特性和属性，在确保减少资源使用和环境影响的同时，提高居住者的健康、安全和舒适度，从而为可持续发展做出贡献。本文的目的是从更广泛的意义上分析人体工程学/人为因素对可持续建筑设计的贡献，重点关注人体工程学原理、方法和技术如何能够改进建筑设计，在建筑生命周期的所有阶段提高其可持续性表现。
