CIOB Building Performance and Evaluation Guide
Contents |
[edit] Summary
Building Performance and Evaluation offers a method to identify, limit and reduce uncertainties in building performance. This guide emphasises that taking a holistic approach can test building design and building performance pre-, during- and post-occupation. It outlines the various tests and methods used in that evaluation, which inform clients, end-users, and practitioners of possible interventions and supports data collection and analysis in order that energy use can be understood and assessed against the energy performance expected.
