Event Details

A well-performing building is not just a physical product.  It is the outcome of successful interaction involving people (client, users, manufacturers and installers), place, and process.  And well performing buildings don't need to be highly innovative or exciting, either. Often well performing buildings could be considered boring - working so effectively that they don't get in the way.

So what makes good buildings work? What is being done and what can be done to ensure that the revelations coming from well-performing buildings (as well as bad ones) during design, under construction and in use are spotlighted and given the exposure needed to ensure that success is built upon and bad practice is eliminated?

This event - Making Buildings Work - organised by the Modern Built Environment Knowledge Transfer Network to broker the exchange of knowledge between industry and the Technology Strategy Board - is a combined conference and workshop where delegates will learn about what is currently happening in the field of building performance evaluation, including Post Occupancy Evaluation. They will actively help in defining where future opportunities may be for products and services that make buildings work, and they will learn how MBEKTN can help them to identify prospects for future collaboration.

This event will contribute to the shaping of future Technology Strategy Board funding calls.

Who should attend: Building operators and clients; contractors; designers; controls companies; technical and facilities managers.
