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.
Primarily used by 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. 256 pp.
