The building performance evaluation (BPE) framework emphasizes an evaluative stance throughout the six phases of the building delivery and life cycle: (1) strategic planning/needs analysis; (2) program review; (3) design review; (4) post-construction evaluation/review; (5) post-occupancy evaluation; and; (6) facilities management review/adaptive reuse.The lessons learned from positive and negative building performance are fed into future building delivery cycles. The case studies illustrate how this basic methodology has been adapted to a range of cultural contexts; and indicates the positive results of building performance assessment in a wide range of situations.

Great old classicsBy readingitallThis edition was a wonderful value. containing many of the well loved classics like Little Women and others of that series. But it also contained other of the authors less well known works that I just fell in love with. I will say that the editing could have been a little better. there were some words where the I was an o or viseversa but overall a wonderful read and and a great bargain at the price.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Refreshing!!By AnitaI read this book year ago and have two movie versions. It is a lovely story. In this rereading I was cognizant of its simplicity. the numerous moral life lessens and the focus on family relations in their idealistic forms. It was nice for a change to enjoy these elements rather than todays focus on dysfunctions and amoral or immoral issues of families and society. All I all it was enjoyable and downright refreshing!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Still GoodBy JanmabaI first read "Little Women" when I was in 8th grade and thats a very long time ago. I loved the plot and the characters back then. I appreciate the novel for its contribution to American literature now. However reading it as a retired teacher. I can see many examples of sexism and racism that an adolescent never would have noticed back in 1962. Also i wanted to reread the novel because television is redoing the film this holiday season.
