Assessment of occupant satisfaction surveys and interviews of building users and occupiers.įor more information, download BSRIA's introduction to BPE presentation on behalf of the Modern Built Environment KTN for more details.

An energy survey a breakdown of the energy used in a building by type of consumption, for example, heating, air conditioning, and so on.

A forensic walkthrough an inspection to check the building's operation and whether there are any emerging problems or wasteful operational practices.

Services can range from a complete evaluation to providing energy monitoring instruments and benchmarking building performance.

Soft landings keeps designers and constructors involved with buildings beyond practical completion.Īs clients increasingly demand proof of performance, BPE is becoming a requirement on many projects, particularly in the public sector for schools, offices and healthcare buildings. “…a form of Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) which can be used at any point in a building's life to assess energy performance, occupant comfort and make comparisons with design targets.”īuilding Performance Evaluations are an integral part of a soft landings programme, a strategy adopted to ensure the transition from construction to occupation is ‘bump-free’ and that operational performance is optimised. BSRIA ( Building Services Research and Information Association) define Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) as:
