Building Performance and Evaluation is a new CIOB guide which offers a method to identify, limit and reduce uncertainties in building performance.
Over eight chapters the book covers management tools and methodologies to support building performance and evaluation, from the design stage through to post-occupancy. It emphasises how taking a a holistic approach can test building design and building performance.
The guide outlines the various tests and methods used in evaluation, which inform clients, end-users and practitioners of possible interventions, and supports data collection and analysis so that energy use can be assessed against the energy performance expected.
It is written by Chris Gorse MCIOB, professor of construction engineering and management at the University of Loughborough and chair of the CIOB Sustainability Panel and Policy Forum, and Dr Kambiz Rakhshanbabanari, a research assistant at Leeds Sustainability Institute.
The guide is available to download for £40 here. CIOB members receive a 20% discount.
