Description
The building performance evaluation (BPE) 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.
Audience
Primarily building officials/administrators, facility managers, programmers, design professionals, and property owners/managers. Secondary
readership is as a text for college courses in facilities management, environmental psychology, architectural programming, post-occupancy
evaluation, and design methods.
