Assessing building performance

Assessing building performance - Oxford Elsevier Butterworth Heinemann 2005 - xx, 243p. 25cm.

The building performance evaluation framework emphasizes an evaluative stance throughout the six phases of the building delivery and life cycle: (1) strategic planning/needs analysis; (2) program review; (3) design review; (4) post-construction evaluation/review; (5) post-occupancy evaluation; and, (6) facilities management review/adaptive reuse. The lessons learned from positive and negative building performance are fed into future building delivery cycles. The case studies illustrate how this basic methodology has been adapted to a range of cultural contexts, and indicates the positive results of building performance assessment in a wide range of situations. Includes case studies from Brazil, Israel, Japan, and Netherlands.
