A retrospective post-occupancy evaluation survey of 44 occupants in two Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum buildings on a US college campus is reported. The Internet survey covered a range of indoor environment and ergonomics issues. Results show that working in these buildings were a generally positive experience for their health, performance and satisfaction. However, in one building there were persistent issues of variability in air temperature, air freshness, air quality and noise that affected the perceived health and performance of the occupants. Although the buildings were energy-efficient and sustainable structures, ergonomics design issues were identified. Implications for the role of ergonomics in green buildings and in the US LEED rating system are discussed.
This survey identified a number of ergonomics design issues present in the LEED Platinum energy-efficient and sustainable buildings that were studied. These results highlight the importance of integrating ergonomics design into green buildings as a component in the US LEED rating system.
本研究报告回顾性地调查了美国大学校园里两座能源与环境设计先锋（LEED）白金级建筑中的 44 名使用者，调查采用网络形式，涵盖了一系列室内环境和人体工程学问题。结果表明，在这些建筑中工作通常对他们的健康、表现和满意度有积极影响。然而，在其中一栋建筑中，空气温度、新鲜度、空气质量和噪音的变化一直存在，影响了使用者的健康感知和表现。尽管这些建筑是节能和可持续结构，但也发现了一些人体工程学设计问题。本文讨论了人体工程学在绿色建筑和美国 LEED 评级系统中的作用。
本调查发现了一些存在于 LEED 白金级节能和可持续建筑中的人体工程学设计问题。这些结果突出了将人体工程学设计纳入绿色建筑作为美国 LEED 评级系统的一个组成部分的重要性。
