This paper sets new criteria to improve windows design strategies using participatory ergonomics and the grounded theory method. Focus groups are used to investigate participants' reactions and discussions about the visual stimuli and their deduction in terms of further employment of specific window design techniques or uses. Results framework is established through the relevance of the relationship between 25 coded categories, grouped in 5 main macro-categories used to describe the value attribution of ergonomic window design from the users' perspective. Three design principles are highlighted: connection with the outside context to feel oriented, filtering glaze or techniques to mediate the outdoor stimuli towards the ideal indoor conditions, and manageability. Overall the method is validated and applicable to other architectural features design study. For the designer or professional working on innovation and production in the Architecture and Engineering industries, these principles could be an efficient tool to improve the industrial appealability of a product.

本文采用参与式人体工程学和扎根理论方法为改善窗户设计策略设定了新标准。焦点小组用于调查参与者对视觉刺激及其减少的反应和讨论，以进一步采用特定的窗户设计技术或用途。结果框架是通过25个编码类别之间关系的相关性建立的，分为5个主要的宏类别，用于从用户的角度描述人体工程学窗口设计的价值属性。突出了三个设计原则：与外界联系以感觉定向，过滤釉料或将室外刺激介导到理想室内条件的技术以及可管理性。总体而言，该方法已得到验证，可应用于其他建筑特征设计研究。对于从事建筑和工程行业创新与生产的设计师或专业人员，这些原则可能是提高产品工业吸引力的有效工具。
