Building Performance and Evaluation Guide

This Guides describes what Building Performance and Evaluation (BPE) is, and what benefits can come about from analysing and understanding a buildings’ performance gaps –from reduced carbon and energy usage, to improved asset efficiency, through to the development of evolving interventions which can be employed by building owners and operators.

Importantly this Guide supports a holistic approach to BPE, i.e. that it is not just applicable to buildings after they are built, it can be applied during design as well with various desk-based assessments. It goes into detail about what comparisons can be made of the data (as-designed vs as-built, energy usage vs national/ international standards, pre intervention vs post, new build vs retrofit etc.) which all empower decision-makers as to possible interventions.

The content of the Guide is structured around the project life-cycle and covers topics such as:

- management tools and methodologies (BIM, Soft Landings…)

- desktop assessment methods (SAP, BREEAM, LEED, PHHP)

- modelling (whole-build or elemental and hygrothermal)

- testing of installed systems during commissioning

- pre-occupancy (equipment, thermography, building forensics…)

- post-occupancy (POE, smart meters, heat transfer coefficient…)

- life-cycle analysis for extraction, deconstruction, recycling

There are a number of illustrations and diagrams used throughout to provide examples and each chapter has ‘in brief’ summary page for ease of use.
