Users Perceptions of Building Performance-An Analysis of the Occupants Comments
55 commercial and institutional buildings have been surveyed by the authors and their collaborators using the Building Use Studies Methodology.Around 4,000 occupants scored over 45 factors related to their perceptions of the performance of these buildings and were invited to comment on ten of these - considered to be key factors.The aim of this paper is to explore the nature of the occupants comments on these ten key factors: design; needs; meeting rooms; desk space: storage; comfort; noise; lighting; health; and productivity.Each comment was categorised as positive,balanced,or negative for analysis.Overall and as might have been anticipated,the higher the proportion of positive comments about any particular factor,the better it scored.Comparisons were undertaken of the nature of the comments between sustainable and conventional buildings,between New Zealand and overseas buildings,between commercial and institutional buildings,and between sustainable and conventional commercial buildings,all of which exhibited notable differences.
