Design Objectives
accessible,
Pertains to building elements, heights and clearances
implemented to address the specific needs (e.g. for disabled).
aesthetics,
Pertains to the physical appearance and image of building
cost effective,
Pertains to selecting building elements on the basis of lifecycle costs (weighing options during concepts, design
development, and value engineering) as well as basic cost
estimating and budget control.
functional/operational,
spatial needs and requirements, system performance as well
Design Objectives
historic preservation,
Pertains to specific actions within a historic district or affecting a
historic building whereby building elements and strategies are
classifiable into one of the four approaches: preservation,
rehabilitation, restoration, or reconstruction
productive,
Pertains to occupants' well-beingphysical and psychological
secure/safe,
Pertains to the physical protection of occupants and assets from
man-made and natural hazards
sustainable and
Pertains to environmental performance of building elements and
strategies.
