DESIGN FOR DISCOVERY
COTE MEASURE 10 - DISCOVERY
DESIGN FOR DISCOVERY ANALYSIS
Advertisement
There were multiple post occupancy studies done in order to evaluate the building process and provide insight to the users and design industry at large.
Multiple studies were conducted to interact with the users and understand their experience, including: contacting the owner after occupancy, comparing utility bills to design predictions, and testing the actual daylighting and air quality of the building.
It was important to the design process as well to share post occupancy findings with the owner, but also the design industry at large to help in the furtherance of sustainable design. Outcomes and lessons were compiled and presented to the industry, as well as published for the general public.
