Future buildings and their services
The authors explore strategic issues in briefing, design and operation of buildings and their services. Feedback from post-occupancy surveys suggests a need for better integration, less complication, and robust rather than optimum performance, with a concentration on ends rather than means. Emphasis must be given to usability, manageability and minimizing downside risks. Les auteurs examinent des questions strategiques liees a l'information, la conception et l'exploitation de batiments et de leurs services. Les informations extraites d'enquetes menees aupres d'anciens occupants font ressortir la necessite d'une meilleure int'gration, d'une simplification et de caracteristiques d'exploitation solides plutot qu'optimales, avec une concentration sur la fin plutot que sur les moyens. L'accent doit etre mis sur les facilites d'utilisation et de gestion et sur une minimisation des risques.
