“…This paper provides a survey of POE techniques and research. Previous work has introduced and reviewed POE [11][12][13][14][15] but has lacked a quantitative analysis of POE characteristics, applications, and trends. This paper presents a comprehensive and critical review to provide both a qualitative and a quantitative assessment of the state-of-the-art of POE projects and methodologies,…”

“…Of these: 12 projects compared the actual performance to predicted performance from models, simulation or targets;16 projects involved comparison between green building performance and non-green building performance (including specific features such as natural ventilation); six projects compared occupants' satisfaction to benchmark results; and five projects compared IEQ measurements to standard requirements. Other comparisons included pre-vs. post-retrofit, and new vs. old homes or facilities.3.3 MethodsPOE methods can broadly include energy and water assessment, IEQ physical measurements, occupant survey questionnaires, focus group meetings, structured interviews, visual records, walkthroughs, and technical measurement of building structure, services and systems[11,13]. A few projects used window opening sensors or GPS-enabled mobility tracking to study occupant behaviors.…”

Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) is a process of evaluating the performance of a building after it has been occupied for at least several years. The authors conducted a comprehensive and critical review to provide a both qualitative and quantitative introduction of POE, including a brief introduction of the history, definition and benefits of POE, a statistical analysis of 146 POE projects since 2010, a comparison of 13 existing POE protocols, a summary of emerging research focuses, and potential future research areas. The 146 POE projects were analyzed in terms of building types, countries, purposes, methods used, and key findings. The review of 13 POE 2 protocols show the state-of-the-practice POE techniques. Apart from POE projects, the authors present emerging research topics related to the visualization of POE results, analyses of occupant survey database, and measurement of occupancy. Finally, the discussion summarizes the current condition of POE research and proposes five transitions that POE efforts should pursue: from

“…• Fire Safety: Compliance with fire safety code requirements is one of the elements that constitute a challenge in adaptive reuse projects [30]. It needs to be assessed in a systematic manner, in order to protect the life of people and value of properties [34]. In office buildings, sprinkler systems, extinguishers, alarm devices, exits and evacuation plan should be adequately provided throughout the building [35].…”

Adaptive reuse of buildings is the process of renovating, or rehabilitating existing buildings, or structures to fulfill a use other than their current use [1]. Adaptive reuse of buildings can provide economic, social and environmental benefits to societies. The economic benefits can be achieved through reductions in the time and cost of realizing functional buildings [2]. Rehabilitated buildings can be configured quickly, in comparison to constructing new buildings, provided that their structural systems are adequate [3]. Additionally, rehabilitated buildings would cost less than new construction, since many of the building elements already exist [4]. The social benefits can be achieved by preserving historical buildings, which could be in advantageous locations [5]. The environmental benefits can be achieved through the reuse of the utilities and materials, including water, gas, and power systems, hence, reducing the demand to provide new utilities, as well as the amount of embodied energy produced through the manufacturing processes of construction materials [3]. Nevertheless, adaptively reused buildings could provide several building performance concerns for their users [6]. These concerns range from the lack of effec

“…Among them, there are the POE (post occupancy evaluation), that is a method developed in the 1960s, conceived to measure the performances of buildings that have been built and occupied for a set time duration, and the BPE (building performance evaluation), that is a method conceived in the 1990s that was developed for upgrading POE and to improve the quality of decisions made at every phase of building life cycle [63][64][65][66]. These methodologies mostly tend to evaluate the performance of the whole building, and not those of the single components, essentially using analyses of users' satisfaction.…”

A Methodology for a Performance Information Model to Support Facility Management

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Current facility management practice relies on different systems which require new technologies to integrate and manage information more easily. Building information modeling offers a good opportunity to improve facility information management by providing a unified platform for various data sources rather than an intuitive information interface. Although current research trends reveal that there is a continuously growing interest in facility management aided by building information modeling, an integrated model is still hard to obtain. This paper aims at developing a novel methodology based on building information modeling and facility management systems integration, underpinned by a performance information model. The implementation process of a performance information model is described, including information technologies involved, the data and process requirements, and the building performance assessment methods used. A first pilot case-study has been conducted with regards to surgery rooms in healthcare buildings. The proposal can support condition-based maintenance work schedule, as well as the achievement of organizational, environmental, and technical requirements. Among the practical implications found: Improved technological and environmental performances assessment; better visualization of building condition; improved decision-making process; facilitated maintenance tasks planning and maintenance records management.
