¡Purpose of the Present Study for Promoting Green Building Design
We did a study for the creation of a green building guideline for a new campus for Kyushu University in 2000 and 2001. Nineteen members, majoring in architecture, building science and civil engineering, carried out this study. Since this study project was finished, Takeshita laboratory, the representative group for this study has been at doing research work on new themes of green building design.

For the promotion of Green Building in Japan, green building guidelines and assessments of environmental design are being made in local governments and large-scale architectural firms. It should be noted that environmental design in small-scale an architectural offices is based on individual experience and knowledge. It may be said that it is difficult to judge adaptability and availability of selected environmental techniques objectively.

The design-support information system is indispensable for realizing green buildings, and this system provides the technical information and systematic assessment of the embodiment, which meets the three phases of design processes, concept, preliminary design, and architectural design. We study the technical information system to support green building design for architect firms. According to developing interactive system, new technical information is reconstituted as design knowledge of one region, and it is possible to create a green building for a specific region.
