Assessment and performance evaluation of buildings and construction processes
The ability to assess, evaluate, and improve the future or current performance of buildings is a critical step towards ensuring that buildings are sustainable and remain so. This chapter introduces a selection of system and individual assessments for general, construction‐related, and building‐specific sustainability. These applications are discussed alongside the benefits they offer. Postoccupancy evaluation is discussed alongside the issue of whether the performance of buildings matches predictions made at the design stage. The effective monitoring of buildings, including data collection systems and thermographic surveys, is discussed. Finally, the relatively complex world of building simulation is described, with particular insights into dynamic thermal simulations.
