High-Performance Building

by Vidar Lerum

Projected building performance is a good starting point for comparing buildings, but to truly understand a building’s performance, one needs to investigate and measure that building once it is built. Vidar Lerum visited seven buildings around the world, talking to their architects and measuring their performance. The result is a step-by-step protocol for analyzing energy performance and thermal comfort in existing buildings and using the results as a prototype for designing new buildings. Lerum’s textbook offers details on the protocol it espouses as well as extensive case studies of the seven buildings, based on the data Lerum gathered.
