Abstract. Generally, building is a structure that provides basic shelter for the humans to conduct general activities. In common prose, the purpose of buildings is to provide humans a comfortable working and living space and protected from the extremes of climate. However, a building usage is depends on the lifespan and the change of rate effected on their impact on efficiency of use. Hence, more attention needs to be emphasized on the performance of buildings as the changes are not static over time. This paper highlights the concept and requirements in evaluating building performance. Exploration on the concept of building performance is also addressed on the purposes of building performance and the link of performance towards the end-users and incorporating their feedback. It concludes that obtaining users' feedback is vital in building performance and the requirements of assessment must outline the performance criteria and mandates in such building.

“…The building may not in itself add value to the process, but it facilitates the process, and has the potential to cause process problems. To that end, cost reduction is a primary consideration for many building owners and occupiers [3].…”

“…The process involves a rigorous approach to the assessment of both the technological and anthropological elements of a building in use. It is a systematic process guided by research covering human needs, building performance and facilities management (McDougall, Kelly, Hinks and Bititci, 2002).…”

Prevalence of POE in UK higher education institutions

Purpose: To identify the extent to which POE is understood and applied within higher education institutions across the UK and to identify users' perceptions of its efficacy. Design/Methodology: A mixed methodology was applied to this research. Part one consisted of an online survey intended to generate an overview of the extent of POE use across the sector. The second phase, intended to develop greater insight and understanding of users' perceptions of POE, relied upon in-depth interviews with a smaller sample drawn those who had completed the survey in part one. Findings: Differing models POE are used within higher education institutions with varying degrees of complexity. Models exist that are based on standard structures and templates, whilst entirely bespoke options have been developed by some institutions. The work found that there is a clear preference for applying bespoke methods rather than standardised ones. Research limitations/implications:The research is based on a sample of Directors of Estates from UK Universities. The conclusions relate specifically to that sector and context. The extent for broader generalisation is limited by the research sample.Practical implications: The work shows that POE is understood to have differing purpose and effectiveness in individual Universities. This leads to the conclusion that more coherent and consistent understanding should be promoted within the sector. Social Implications: The work has implications for the effective management of university buildings to support user satisfaction. Originality/Value: This paper indicates that there is prevalence of applying POE processes in higher education institutions and that specific models have been developed for the sector. However, the extent to which the process is valued and understood is highly variable.

“…This refers to the comprehensive features of a building, including structural, architectural, surroundings, environmental issues and building services. The performance measurement of a building is firstly summarised in terms of the background of the building and the scope of performance assessment [21]. Therefore, all relevant stakeholders need to understand the key performance factors in a building.…”

Analytical Hierarchy Process for Developing a Building Performance-Risk Rating Tool

Abstract. The need to optimize the performance of buildings has increased consequently due to the expansive supply of facilities in higher education building (HEB). Proper performance assessment as a proactive measure may help university building in achieving performance optimization. However, the current maintenance programs or performance evaluation in the HEB is a systemic and cyclic process where maintenance is considered as an operational issue and not as opposed to a strategic issue. Hence, this paper proposed a Building Performance Risk Rating Tool (BPRT) as an improved measure for building performance evaluation by addressing the users' risk in health and safety aspects. The BPRT is developed from the result of a rating index using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. 12 facilities management (FM) experts and practitioners were involved in the rating process. The subjective weightings are analysed using the AHP computer software, the Expert Choice 11. The establishment of the BPRT was introduced as an aid of improvement towards the current performance assessment of HEB by emerging the concept of building performance and risk into a numerical strategic approach
