Indicating Users' Risk in Building Performance Evaluation for University Buildings

Abstract

Higher education building (HEB) is believed to be key functional. It spawns not only the environment but also human and economic resources. Initially, the growing student population with various learning activities has constituted risk emergence, inefficient energy use and climate discomfort. Thus, it decreases the yearly total performance of the building. To sustain building efficiency, Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) plays a vital role to improve performance issues in HEB. Hence, this paper explores the significance of users' feedback as the concept of building performance. This paper also describes the literature on the HEB's background including risk factors and performance issues.
