This is a compact yet extremely comprehensive reference guide to assessing the performance of buildings, taking into account case studies and world regional factors. The material is based on standardised models used to assess various aspects of a building's performance including design reviews, construction elements, occupancy and post occupancy evaluations, sustainability, and benchmarking techniques.

Building performance assessment has become progressively more important and has fallen under greater scrutiny for a variety of reasons, namely cost effectiveness, sustainability and legislative issues. This text is currently the most relevant on the subject, with models developed and verified by international consortiums and global perspectives on assessment variables and processes.
