Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) is a form of Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) which can be used at any point in a building's life to assess energy performance, occupant comfort and make comparisons with design targets. MTS provides building performance evaluation service in three different levels: Indicative, Investigative, and Diagnostic.
- Indicative level provides a forensic walkthrough; an inspection to check the building's operation and whether there are any emerging problems or wasteful operational practices.
- Investigative level provides an energy survey; a breakdown of the energy used in a building by type of consumption, for example, heating, air conditioning, and so on.
- Diagnostic level includes all the above and assessment of occupant satisfaction; surveys and interviews of building users and occupiers.
- Produce reports on BPE which contains all the data, analysis, and findings.
- Provide guidelines for improvement of design, construction, operation and/or management of a building about its current performance. It also helps designers and constructors involved with buildings beyond practical completion.
