Course Overview

This course provides a comprehensive overview of building performance evaluation, its value in new-build and retrofit projects, and how to satisfy compliance requirements.

Rather than focusing on physical testing, we introduce the main diagnostic tools, teaching you how to select those most relevant to your projects and interpret their outputs. The course is based around defining and verifying SMART performance targets to achieve the most effective results.

Using data from our own large-scale projects, we demonstrate the real-world impact of measurement on stock management and retrofit strategies. You will learn how to specify a holistic building performance evaluation process that leads to better-informed design, lower risk, and smarter investment decisions.

Course Content

  • Compliance & Design: The implications of BPE for new-build standards and retrofit strategies.
  • The BPE Toolkit: A comprehensive guide to the testing options and how to choose the right tools for your needs.
  • Target Setting & Verification: How to set SMART performance targets at the design stage that can be actively verified using BPE techniques on-site.
  • Diagnostics & Data: An introduction to key measurement tools, what they measure, and how to interpret their outputs.
  • Real-World Evidence: Key insights from our large-scale testing projects and their impact on stock management.
  • Strategic Procurement: How to design and specify a holistic BPE process to de-risk investment and validate design decisions.
