Constructing Efficiency Evaluation

Explores and brings collectively the existent physique of data on constructing efficiency evaluation

Shortlisted within the CIBSE 2020 Constructing Efficiency Awards

Constructing efficiency is a crucial but surprisingly advanced idea. This e book presents a complete and systematic overview of the topic. It supplies a working definition of constructing efficiency, and an in-depth dialogue of the function constructing efficiency performs all through the constructing life cycle. The e book additionally explores the views of varied stakeholders, the features of buildings, efficiency necessities, efficiency quantification (each predicted and measured), standards for fulfillment, and the challenges of utilizing efficiency evaluation in observe.

Constructing Efficiency Evaluation begins by introducing the topic of constructing efficiency: its key phrases, definitions, historical past, and challenges. It then develops a theoretical basis for the topic, explores the complexity of efficiency evaluation, and the best way that efficiency evaluation impacts on precise buildings. In doing so, it makes an attempt to reply the next questions: What’s constructing efficiency? How can constructing efficiency be measured and analyzed? How does the evaluation of constructing efficiency information the development of buildings? And what can the constructing area be taught from the best way efficiency is dealt with in different disciplines?

• Assembles the present physique of data on constructing efficiency evaluation in a single distinctive useful resource
• Presents deep insights into the complexity of utilizing constructing efficiency evaluation all through all the constructing life cycle, together with design, operation and administration
• Contributes an emergent idea of constructing efficiency and its evaluation

Constructing Efficiency Evaluation will enchantment to the constructing science neighborhood, each from business and academia. It particularly targets superior college students in architectural engineering, constructing providers design, constructing efficiency simulation and related fields who maintain an curiosity in making certain that buildings meet the wants of their stakeholders.
