A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Building performance describes how well a building and its systems provide the tasks and functions that stakeholders expect. This chapter explores the concepts of user needs, building functions and performance requirements. It brings in the discipline of requirements engineering, which supports requirement elicitation, establishes any conflicts and helps to identify and manage requirements. It studies building functions and their decomposition, and how this may be affected by different stakeholder world views. The chapter advocates to discern the following categories of performance requirements: quality requirements, workload requirements, resource saving requirements, timeliness and readiness.
