Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas? One of those is the environmental design technical group. The Environmental Design Technical Group is concerned with the relationship between human behavior and the designed environment. Common areas of research and interest include ergonomic and macroergonomic aspects of design within home, office, and industrial settings. At a time when there is great focus on creating sustainable environments it plays a vital role in bringing together researchers with the latest ideas to improve the places where we live, learn, laugh and love, and to span all ages, from children to the elderly. An overall objective of this group is to foster and encourage the integration of ergonomics principles into the design of environments.
