Methods for Developing Habitability Design Criteria.

Abstract

Habitability design criteria are concerned with the ability of facility users and occupants to perform their missions effectively, safely, and with satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to develop procedures that the Office, Chief of Engineers, Corps of Engineers division and district offices, and contractors can use to systematically prepare habitability design criteria. In the first phase of the study, reported here, a prototype procedure was developed and was pilot tested in preparation of an actual design criteria document. The major conclusion drawn from the pilot test is that the process for developing habitability design criteria is feasible, although improvements are necessary to make it more efficient and to increase the probability of quality in its application.
