Building performance evaluation – understanding the benefits and risks for the stakeholders involved. Lessons for Poland based on the UK experience
Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
Building performance evaluation (BPE) is a group endeavour. It has the potential to enable context based learning and improvement of the built environment necessary at a time of rapidly increasing expectations towards buildings. This potential can only be released however if voluntary engagement of key stakeholders is secured and their needs and expectations are carefully considered. The paper is a critical reflection on the process of introducing BPE into the scope of interest of the mainstream building industry stakeholders in the UK. It is believed that these lessons provide useful precedent applicable in the Polish context despite any differences between the two countries. Key benefits and risks different stakeholder groups may link with their engagement in BPE are identified. BPE process elements securing specific benefits and addressing relevant risks are named in order to justify the necessity of thinking of BPE holistically.
