Abstract
Design of a high-rise office building or trade centre, like any
engineering design, is a complex multidisciplinary process with the
objective to discover, detail and construct a system to fulfill a given set
of performance requirements. The office building is one of the great
icons of the twentieth century. Office towers dominate the skylines of
cities in every continent. As the most visible index of economic activity,
of social, technological, and financial progress, they have come to
symbolize much of what this century has been about.
To accomplish this impact, the buildings must benefit from an integrated
design approach that focuses on meeting a list of objectives. Through
integrated design, a new generation of high-performance office buildings
is beginning to emerge that offers owners and users increased worker
satisfaction and productivity, improved health, greater flexibility, and
enhanced energy and environmental performance. Typically, these
projects apply life-cycle analysis to optimize initial investments
in architectural design, systems selection, and building construction.
