Who's it for?

Anyone who wants to know more about building performance. We try to give convincing answers based on trustworthy data. We are not testing hypotheses or theories (although the method can be used for this if you wish). We are not using research to promote other services. There are no hidden agendas.

The outputs are helpful to:

• designers, especially architects and engineers, to assess how well buildings work as part of briefing, design, post-occupancy analysis and strategic thinking about the future;
• occupiers, to see whether their buildings give value for money, especially with respect to the staff’s needs and perceptions;
• managers, to help improve services to occupiers and users;
• developers, to extend and improve their products and services;
• consultants, to increase their knowledge of how buildings work;
• researchers, to extend their data sources and knowledge base;
• students, for project work;
• lecturers, as source material.
