b) Additionally, the study provides novel design guidelines for designers with emphasizing on weight for workplace design practices. The weighting results of this study would be especially applicable to the workplace typology. The 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design has a broader range of usage for all building typologies and is more suitable for general design applications. Therefore, the weighting results of this experiment are not employed to deny the ranking in the 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design. These are exploited to show a new biophilic design framework for the workplace according to the users’ points of view (based on the POE results). c) Furthermore, the questionnaire results enhance our knowledge on the practical ap-plication of biophilic design frameworks for the workplace and contributed to more framework design consideration. d) The correlation results support the importance of biophilic design from the user perspectives. There is a significant correlation between office biophilic design and self-reported health of employees (r=.270**, p < .01). 2) The investigative POE studies evaluated the self-reported health (GH), nature-relatedness (NR), and biophilic design in the workplace (BDE). The objective of the study is to evaluate the typical biophilic design attributes in office environment and the correlation between biophilic design and office health. Hence, the research scope is relatively extensive. 1) The Conclusion is rewritten to highlight the relationship between biophilic design and occupant health and wellbeing: Revision in Page 23 Line 516-540: “The significant research outputs from the present scrutiny are shown as following: a) The authors develop a POE questionnaire for evaluating the biophilic design for workplace health and wellbeing. e) The study results contribute to provide designers with evidence-based design at-tributes for workplace design (i.e., the nine selected workplace biophilic design attributes).” 2) The Conclusion is reconstructed and a separate section-- Section 6. Limitation and Future Studies is added in the revised version: Revision in Page 23 Line 542-551: “6. Limitation and Future Studies There are limitations in this study, first, these two cases are limited in representing all the workplace biophilic designs due to the sample size limitations. Further studies could include more offices and locations as experiment samples. In the future study, the research scope should be narrow down for intensive investigation.” Point 8:
Adding some explanations, examples and data comparison to the conclusion will be more intuitive and convincing, just as discussed earlier in the article. Perhaps this makes this article more complete and credible. At the same time, the conclusion only summarizes the article, and lasks discussions and explanations for the future research direction.
