The Importance of Ergonomics in Green Design

In the past decade the green building movement has gathered tremendous momentum. Since 2008 the US Green Building Council has provided an opportunity for ergonomists to actively participate in this movement by helping designers earn credit in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification process. This paper outlines the history and reviews requirements of this credit. The value of integrating good ergonomics programs into the design of green buildings is presented and future opportunities are discussed.
