Perhaps equally important is that the
exemplary design and performance of
new buildings capture the imagination
of both professionals and the public. An
exciting new building serves as a beacon
for demonstrating innovative design
practices, new technology, and best-practice
behaviour. Hence, we must encourage such
exemplary performance and capture their
demonstration and education value.
• BEAM Plus
– there must be continuous
improvement to the assessment system
by enhancing its scope to cover passive
design, and when the benchmarking
tool is in place, also performance
verification;
• GFA concessions scheme
– is
currently the most significant incentive
for exemplary performance of new
buildings. Our research and stakeholder
engagement consultation have revealed
a number of gaps in the current system
that needs to be reviewed;
• Flexibility in design
- another key issue
identified through the consultation,
especially amongst the professional
groups is a desire to see a more flexible
building controls regulations that allow
more innovative design; and
• Performance verification
- to ensure
that buildings are able to deliver the
performance promised at its design. The
verification drives the process of retro-
commissioning.
