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.
