A biophilic built environment, as a design doctrine, is receiving rising attention. Architects began to pay attention to the local culture and environment, using ecology, the basic principles of building technology science and modern scientific and technological means to reasonably arrange and organize the relationship between the building and other relevant factors, so that the building and the environment become organic. This thesis investigates the impact of biophilic design on the built and healthy environment and if the act of biophilia has a positive impact when viewing from different cultural, social, and economic aspects in an office environment. The study used three questionnaires conducted in China, United States of America (USA) and Europe, to compare the economic, cultural and working environment preferences with the main purpose to investigate whether the building industry would benefit from Green Buildings (GBs). The authors predict that the implementation of biophilia in the built environment will not only improve the building performances but also emphasize considerable benefits for the employees' physical and mental health.
