(v 2.0 onwards) now includes a point for good ergonomic design in the “Innovation
in Design and Innovation in Operations Credit”. A good ergonomic design is one
that creates and maintains a flexible ergonomic environment that properly
accommodates building users and promotes healthy, comfortable and productive
work. One point can now be obtained for designs that promote good ergonomics.
The requirement for this point involves the development and implementation of “a
comprehensive ergonomics strategy that will have a positive impact on human
health and comfort when performing daily activity for at least 75% of Full Time
Equivalent building users”. The USGBC has also issued recent guidance on what
constitutes a good ergonomic design for either existing of planned workspaces.
The following worksheets and survey are based on this guidance. English version
