Abstract

More than twenty years after Cowan's identification of environmental design as the principal problem of architectural science, today's new buildings seem still liable to cause environmental discomfort. The practical usefulness in building design of knowledge gainedfrom environmental evaluations could be increased if the design means employed to create particular environments are evaluated against detailed design needs of generic kinds. This paper proposes a procedure for evaluations of this kind, includes check lists of environmental needs and design means and presents an example of part of such a completed environmental evaluation.
