Building evaluation: practice and principles

Leaman, Adrian / Stevenson, Fionn / Bordass, Bill

Based on experiences of carrying out building-performance studies in non-domestic buildings in the United Kingdom and around the world, the question is addressed of how these might apply in the emerging area of housing evaluation studies. Principles are offered covering both non-domestic and domestic buildings. The research area and approach are defined, and types of feedback and their effectiveness are explored, along with the sorts of methods that should be used and some wider topics including duty of care and some of the implications of 'real-world' research. Key lessons from fieldwork are presented. Sur la base de l'experience acquise en realisant des etudes sur les performances des batiments dans des batiments non residentiels au Royaume-Uni et a travers le monde, la question est abordee de savoir comment celle-ci pourrait s'appliquer au secteur emergent des etudes d'evaluation des logements. Des principes sont proposes, couvrant a la fois les batiments residentiels et non residentiels. Le domaine de recherche et l'approche sont definis, et les types de feedback comme leur efficacite sont examines, ainsi que les types de methodes qui devraient etre utilises, mais aussi certains themes plus larges, incluant le devoir de diligence et certaines des implications decoulant des recherches en «situation reelle». Les principaux enseignements de ces travaux de terrain sont presentes.
