Designs for improving energy efficiency in historical buildings are tailor made. For initiators the flexible character of design processes raises uncertainty about why certain energy measures are (not) allowed. How is decision making in thedesign process organised? And what mechanisms influence tailor made designs? In this paper we present an integral design method for energy efficient restoration. Our theoretical background draws on two sources. Firstly, we follow design theory with distinct generic and specific designs. Secondly we use the ‘heritage-as-a-spatial-factor’ approach, where participants with different backgrounds focus on adding value to heritage. By applying the integral design method, we evaluate decision making processes and reflect on heritage approaches. We suggest how the integral design method can be improved andquestion the parallel existence of heritage approaches.

In operatiekamers heeft de luchtkwaliteit vanzelfsprekend de meeste aandacht in verband met het risico op postoperatieve wondinfecties bij de patiënt. Echter het belang van thermisch comfort moet niet onderschat worden. In dit onderzoek wordt subjectief (perceptie) en objectief (metingen) de situatie onderzocht in operatiekamers met verschillende ventilatiesystemen. Uitgangspunt is een vergelijk met de theorie.
