This chapter concentrates on six whole building level performances: thermal comfort, health and indoor air quality, energy efficiency, durability, economics and sustainability. Human sensitivity to the thermal environment originates from two physiological realities shared by all warm‐blooded creatures: being exothermic and homoeothermic. Industry, traffic, residential plus equivalents and energy transformation determine the source consumption. Over the past decade, buildings seem to have been constructed and retrofitted to conserve energy. Buildings must offer good comfort, a healthy environment, functionality, adaptability and global sustainability, but this should be done as energy efficiently as possible. When analysing durability, terms like behaviour, load, limit state, ageing, damage and risk pertain. Life cycle inventory and analysis (LCIA) looks to the building's environmental impact from cradle to cradle. The term high performance makes the link between sustainability and a series of fitness for purpose checks.
