Abstract

At present, the growth and supply of the office building is likely to be highly competitive situation. Then, the office building requires a sustainable development strategy and the health or well-being of building occupants becomes an important issue. Therefore, it is necessary to study the development of the physical environment that promotes health in use.

In addition, this research conducted the study of criteria importance level of RISC project. It was found that Air category is the most conducted criteria for both precondition and optimization which equals 30.51% of all conducted criteria. In addition, the Air category was also rated as the most important category which important scale equals 6.52. For Water and Light category, each of which was conducted 11.86 of all conducted criteria.
