Exploring Efficiency in Building Construction Evaluation

Explore and consolidate the existing knowledge on evaluating the performance of buildings.

Proudly named a finalist in the CIBSE 2020 Constructing Efficiency Awards, our innovative approach explores efficiency evaluation in buildings.

In the world of construction, grasping the concept of efficiency can be quite intricate. This e-book offers a comprehensive and methodical examination of building efficiency. It provides a clear definition of the term, delves deep into the role of building efficiency across the building life cycle, and investigates various stakeholders' perspectives. The book covers building functions, performance standards, quantification of efficiency (both anticipated and actual), success criteria, and the practical challenges of conducting performance evaluations.

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.
