Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) informs and enhances the
usability and sustainability of building designs with lessons
learned from evaluation of building performance throughout the
building life cycle, from initial planning through occupancy to
adaptive re-use. A key feature of BPE is that it examines design
and technical performance of buildings alongside human performance
criteria. That is, it seeks to examine facilities in order to
determine whether they will work for the people that will use and
occupy them. Rigorous BPE helps to improve design practice by
providing feedback on the effectiveness of the choices made about
the building to ensure that its design is optimised for
stakeholders uses. The overarching theme for Enhancing Building
Performance is to present the next generation of BPE work. The book
provides an updated systematic approach for BPE as well as chapters
written by experts from around the world who demonstrate how to
apply BPE to enhance building design. Topics covered include:
evidence-based and integrative design processes, evaluation methods
and tools, and education and knowledge transfer. In addition, case
studies provide specific examples of how BPE has been used to study
such things as the impact of workplace design on human productivity
and innovation. Written primarily for design professionals and
facility managers who wish to use BPE to deliver improved building
performance that is responsive to the needs of stakeholders,
Enhancing Building Performance will also be of great value to
researchers and students across a range of architecture and
construction disciplines.
