Building appraisal, or building evaluation as it is also known, is concerned with the systematic study and assessment of buildings in use. This book examines the methods used to provide feedback to the design team of successes and failures of buildings in use, to highlight problems in existing buildings such as space problems and excessive maintenance costs, to audit critical aspects of performances such as thermal and acoustic efficiency, structural integrity, and to provide guidelines for subsequent new build and adaptation schemes.
