Total Building Performance

This subject provides an overview of the key factors that affect the performance and efficiency of buildings. It introduces the performance mandates of building and focuses on integrated approaches to meet the building performance criteria. Topics include spatial performance, thermal comfort and evaluation, air quality and acoustic performance, lighting aspects and building integrity performance.
