Avaliação de um ambiente planejado e a busca pela sustentabilidade ambiental em moradias. O caso do Reino Unido. Evaluation of a planned environment and the quest for environmental sustainability in housing: the UK case
This chapter outlines the development of Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) methodology in the UK in relation to new build and retrofit housing developments. A new diagnostic approach is then discussed which is used during the handover and early occupation stages of the building lifecycle. This approach was incorporated into two major national domestic BPE programmes in the UK in which the author was instrumental, both as an advisor and evaluator. The use of this approach is illustrated through a single case study. The findings are shown to have informed the latest government policies on BPE in the UK.
