George Baird, author of Sustainable Buildings in Practice – What the Users Think, presents a post-occupancy evaluation of Canterbury University’s Erskine Building. Although it has been 12 years since the building was completed, the Erskine Building remains a noteworthy example of sustainable design and has achieved a high user performance rating.
Baird’s case study identifies lessons that can be applied to contemporary projects, including the use of user manuals to ensure optimal building performance.
