- Abstract:
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to determine how well the facilities are performing in order to support the organizational goals and user requirement it is very vital to conduct regular building evaluations which necessitates the important usage of building performance evaluation (BPE) where it provides the current status quo of building. Presently, there are various BPE approaches developed around the world, and as evidenced there are no in-depth studies on BPE in tropical countries to evaluate the building performance (BP). However, adapting these approaches might not necessarily be applicable in the context of tropical countries due to geographical, climatic, cultural and other differences. This has been identified as the gap in this research and aimed to formulate a holistic total building performance evaluation (TBPE) scoring framework, for the assessment of performance of buildings. Design/methodology/approach - The study was quantitative in nature. First, a comprehensive literature survey was carried out. This was followed by an expert survey to sieve out the most significant BP factors identified in the literature survey. With that detailed questioner survey was carried out proposing a TBPE scoring framework Findings - A TBPE scoring framework was proposed with a total of 265 points to evaluate buildings compromising of seven criteria and 57 dimensions in which energy management, reachability, occupational hygiene, thermal, etc. had higher contribution in evaluating building. Research limitations/implications - Identification of measurement units and parameters for BP dimensions are expected to be conducted in order to distribute the scoring evenly. Continuous studies are also necessary since the expectations of building performance dimensions changing all the time. Originality/value - This paper readdresses the need of evaluating the buildings and suggesting the paradigm to evaluate the buildings in an objective manner.
