Is your building performing as well as it should be?

If you have ever wondered this as a designer, contractor, facilities manager, building owner or developer the BUS methodology could help you find the answer. The BUS methodology is an occupant satisfaction evaluation method developed over the last 30 years. It is a tried and tested methodology with a dataset approaching 700 buildings.

 

We are delighted that Darren Wright and Richard Reid of Arup, and Adrian Leaman (curator of the BUS method) are presenting the BUS methodology - what it is, where it came from, the partner network, how it is used and how the results indicate the performance of the building.

 

Closing the performance gap between design and operation is critical to ensuring that buildings meet occupant’s needs. This feedback can be used to inform and improve current operation of buildings and provide valuable lessons learned for the briefing and design of new projects. 

 

Understanding how a building is used and gaining insight into levels of occupant satisfaction can help to improve the performance of buildings now and the design of better buildings in the future.

We are hoping to have members from other key institutions as well as representatives from client organisations join us for this session to ensure not just a lively discussion, but a representation of all viewpoints along the building supply chain considering how the BUS methodology can be applied to current and future buildings.
