Abstract
The task of filling an architecture faculty position in the field of Environmental systems in National Architecture Accrediting Board accredited programs can be challenging. The challenge is due in part to the tradition of the architectural education in the United States. This qualitative research tries to enlighten stakeholders about some of the key variables they can evaluate to develop effective strategies for the future by addressing the rational regarding current environmental control educators: who are they, what makes them teach environmental control, what it is like for them teaching environmental control, and what they want to see change. Traditional demographic and psychographic variables are analyzed from the sample of 71 respondents who are currently teaching or previously taught environmental control at 52 of the accredited schools classified by the National Architectural Accrediting Board as accredited schools of architecture. These demographic and psychographic variables include items such as gender, hometown, education level, background, job classification, academic rank, number of years with current university, number of years teaching environmental systems, average job requirements of teaching environmental systems, types of research, problems they see in environmental systems, and what they think the future of environmental systems needs. This study also takes a brief look at the motivations of these individuals, as well as the history of environmental systems in architectural education.
