SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
To discuss the principles involved as regard standard sizes and spaces on architectural features and satisfy the requirements as provided for by the National Building Code.
ERGONOMIC PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
Ergonomics – refers to the study of human spaces and movement needs.
Since all residential structures are built for human use, they must be ergonomically designed to match the size, shape, reach and mobility of all the occupants.

ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
Rooms National Building Code on sizes and dimensions of rooms provides that: Room for human habitations shall be 6 sq. meters with a minimum horizontal dimension of 2 meters.
Kitchen shall be 3 sq. meters with a minimum horizontal dimension of 1.50 meters.

Habitable rooms with artificialventilation shall have ceiling heights not less than 2.40 metersmeasured from the floor.
For buildings more than one-storey high, minimum ceiling heightof the first floor shall be 2.70 metersand 2.40 meters for thesecond floor.
