Summary:
On Monday 6th October (14:00-15:30), the Building Performance Network, a programme of the Good Homes Alliance, is hosting a kick-off roundtable discussion as part of a new Residential Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) working group.
The aim of the working group is to develop a new framework for delivering POE in new residential development and builds upon previous work by the GHA/BPN in creating a range of BPE guidance*, model employer’s requirements, and supporting the development of a British Standard for BPE (BS40101). The working group will support/complement work by others including Urban Design Learning and the GLA.
This opening online roundtable, supported by Knauf Energy Solutions, will bring together building performance evaluation (BPE) practitioners, housing developers, local authorities, RSLs, architects and consultants from within the GHA membership, and invited industry experts. We will be joined by a number of experts including GHA Chair Dr. Tom Dollard, Dr. Kerry Mashford OBE (chair and co-author of BS40101) and Prof. David Glew (Leeds Beckett University).
This opening roundtable provides attendees with an opportunity to share their knowledge/experiences and help shape the content for the new framework.
