Moreover, structural stability of the building, ventilating system, dominant the water and energy use of buildings, thermal comfort, building's age, inexperienced yard and landscape, restroom, and amplitudes were recognized as effective parameters yet. The noteworthy finding of this study is that non-architects care regarding associate degree environmentally friendly style quite architects in each genders. During this respect, as well as the divergence and convergence points of each architects and non-architects within the planning method may guarantee a stronger style. This analysis will give a completely unique insight into architects' views of the first style platform in workplace buildings which may fill the present analysis gap.
