| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is (1) to present the performance evaluation model of office buildings and (2) to use this model as a measurement tool upon the introduction of the certification system. The evaluation models currently in use do not cover all areas required for the full evaluation of an office building, all concentrating only on a specialized area of their own. In this paper, the categories for performance evaluation were chosen based on a survey by field specialists and building users and also data from many prior researches. An objective and synthetic standard for office building's performance was made by giving a weighting to each selected category based on the results from the survey. The evaluation fields can be divided into two main parts - the internal performance of the building and performance affected by external changes.
This performance evaluation model is expected to become the basis of the introduction of the office building certification system. The introduction of the certification system will provide a credible standard for people to evaluate buildings, and that is expected to lead to the activation of the building market. This is the major reason the office building certification system needs to be introduced and established. |
