A conceptual model for user-centred passive building design

The integration of end user factors (EUFs) into passive building design processes is suggested to be of major importance for improving mental health and wellbeing of the building’s end-user (E-U). Currently, there is a lack of a robust approach that helps the designer to integrate these factors into the design processes. There is also a need to understand what the most relevant E-U factors are and how to integrate them into passive design processes. Hence, the thesis of this work is to address this challenge by proposing a systemic conceptual E-U centred passive building design model
