“…The more specific we can be regarding the characteristics and use of buildings, the more detailed we can be when considering energy analytics, the better we can support a move towards sustainability that considers both building fabric and building use. By applying MEASUR methods, as proposed in [4], we suggest that the following factors should be considered as KPI when adding contextual information to building space: Assessment of buildings, in relation to their intrinsic and extrinsic properties, allows us to compare and identify buildings with similar properties. This enables us to quantifiably determine energy waste and therefore key areas of change that could improve sustainability.…”

Even minor changes in user activity can bring about significant energy savings within built space. Many building performance assessment methods have been developed, however these often disregard the impact of user behavior (i.e. the social, cultural and organizational aspects of the building). Building users currently have limited means of determining how sustainable they are, in context of the specific building structure and/or when compared to other users performing similar activities, it is therefore easy for users to dismiss their energy use. To support sustainability, buildings must be able to monitor energy use, identify areas of potential change in the context of user activity and provide contextually relevant information to facilitate persuasion management. If the building is able to provide users with detailed information about how specific user activity that is wasteful, this should provide considerable motivation to implement positive change. This paper proposes using a dynamic and temporal semantic model, to populate information within a model of persuasion, to manage user change. By semantically mapping a building, and linking this to persuasion management we suggest that: i) building energy use can be monitored and analyzed over time; ii) persuasive management can be facilitated to move user activity towards sustainability.

“…In considering the social, economic and environmental issues, performance measurement and benchmarking processes are ways that the construction industry can move towards attaining sustainable procurement and development (Shah et al 2010). Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are commonly defined for this purpose (Ofori 2001).…”

There is an increasing pressure on governments of developing economies to support sustainable construction procurement. In exploring this issue, this research asks three related questions: (1) how is sustainable procurement perceived in developing economies, (2) how can government regulation influence its application, and (3) what is the role of performance measurement in stimulating sustainable procurement practices? Answers are sought via an investigation exploring the underlying issues and challenges facing the construction industry of a developing country looking to address sustainable procurement. Using primary and secondary data sources, this research presents a case study of the Jordanian construction industry. Findings show that whilst sustainable procurement practices are promoted, it is still in its infancy -in part due to ineffective procurement frameworks and a lack of performance measurement. Current government regulations and policies are identified as an underlying cause, discouraging the development and adoption of sustainable procurement methods. As the Jordanian construction industry shares characteristics with other developing economies, it is expected that the findings of this paper will be of interest to professionals in those construction industries attempting to initiate sustainable procurement via performance measurement.

“…Furthermore, performance indicators in different aspects such as environmental and economic ones should be taken into account in order to implement successfully an energy management plan. Since PIs can vary significantly depending on a building's location, climate, legislation, usage and so on, selecting the most appropriate indicators is a big challenge [236]. Furthermore, due to the numerous PIs involved, especially for district-scale energy management, weighting the importance of each indicator according to the stakeholders' involvement is essential when aiming to identify the key performance indicators (KPIs) that underpin the stakeholders' performance goals.…”

“…Generally, EEI can be viewed as the ratio of energy input to the factor related to the energy using component. Additionally, some worldwide building performance assessment methods and tools such as BREEAM, HK-BEAM, LEED and CASBEE can also provide a useful set of tools to identify KPIs, if they are properly applied [236].…”

“…Such criteria form the building blocks of the proposed ANP model. Shah et al [236] and Alwaer and Clements-Croome [247] also used the AHP method to evaluate the importance of KPIs for sustainable intelligent buildings. Alwaer and Clements-Croome [247] adopted a consensus-based model, which is analysed using the AHP for multi-criteria decision-making and for the selection and priority setting of KPIs.…”

Performance indicator is a way to summarize pieces of performance information from available data and measure the progress towards achieving an organization's goals. Key performance indicator (KPI) Key performance indicator is an indicator that provides critical pieces of actionable information to ensure success and evaluates and tracks the key critical performance of an organization. Linked Data Linked data is a pattern of interrelated datasets using Semantic Web techniques, which extends the Web to share information in a way that can be readable by both humans and machines. Linked data enables data from different sources to be interlinked and to become more useful through semantic queries.
