Abstract
Case Study
The Case Study of William Chrisman High School in Independence, Missouri, USA, was done in the Winter/Spring of 1996 by first year students in the Environmental Design Studies Program at Kansas State University. William Chrisman High School is one of 20,059 secondary school in the United States and one of 587 secondary schools in the state of Missouri. The Environmental Design Studies Program is an introduction to the design fields of architecture, interior architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture. To learn more about the Enviornmental Design Studies Program, follow this link... At Kansas State University, Mr. John Selfridge, Associate Professor
in the Department of Architecture, instructed and cordinated this project in his first year studios. Five freshman students examined bulding/energy performance and user response issues at William Chrisman High School.

This study was done in conjunction with the Vital Signs Project. Vital Signs is an active program underway at numerous schools of architecture in Canada and in the United States for student-centered investigations of the physical and energy performance of existing buildings and of the buildings' influences on users. It has developed in concert with the Society of Building Science Educators and, as a funded project, is administered through the Center for Enviromental design at the University of California, Berkeley.
