Judit Kimpian on why building performance studies are crucial for net zero
Episode 26. A year after publication, Judit Kimpian and Hattie Hartman revisit key messages from the book they co-authored with Sofie Pelsmakers. Judit explains why building performance studies de-risk the construction process and help ensure that what was designed actually gets built and operates as intended. She explains why it is so important to stay with a project during a one-to-three-year ‘landing’ period after completion, to ensure proper commissioning, monitor both energy and indoor environmental quality, and talk to occupants.
