Description / Abstract:
This International Standard establishes the general principles
of building environment design taking into account aspects of
sustainability related to indoor environmental quality and healthy
indoor environment for the occupants. The standard promotes an
approach in which the various parties involved in building
environmental design collaborate with one another to provide a
sustainable building environment. The unique features of the design
process are articulated by the following aims:
- to provide the indoor building environment the aims concerning
sustainability from the initial stage of the design process,
including building plant life cycle, together with owning and
operating costs considered at all stages of the design process,
- to assess the proposed design with rational criteria for
indoor air quality, thermal, acoustic, and visual comfort, energy
efficiency and HVAC system controls at each design stage
- to make iterations between decisions and evaluations of the
design throughout the design process.
The building environment design involves not only architectural
design associated with environmental quality but also environmental
system design associated with effective controls measures. This
International Standard is applicable to building environment design
for new construction and retrofitting.
