Description
Summary:Biophilic design is a strategy to connect humans with nature into the built environment, such as the application of greens, natural light and ventilation, and water element. Malaysia’s economy has been growing rapidly. Thus, this requires occupants to work diligently, resulting in spending most of their time working indoors. Maintaining personal psychology is very crucial to enhance their work performance. However, their work nature limits their interactions with the natural environment. Hence, this is where biophilic design comes to rescue, as there are massive impacts of biophilic design on occupants’ psychological performance. This research aims to determine the relationship of biophilic design strategies and occupants’ perceived psychological performance in Malaysia’s green rated office buildings. Then, there are four objectives for this research: 1) To identify biophilic design strategies in Malaysia’s green rated office buildings, 2) To determine occupants’ perception towards biophilic design strategies in Malaysia’s green rated office buildings, 3) To identify occupants’ perceived psychological performance in Malaysia’s green rated office buildings, and 4) To analyze the relationship between biophilic design strategies and occupants’ perceived psychological performance in Malaysia’s green rated office buildings.
