Performance Model • Performance Objectives • energy-efficiency; environmental impact; life-cycle economics; occupant health, comfort and productivity; and building functionality, adaptability, durability, and sustainability • Performance Metrics • explicitly represent project objectives, using quantitative criteria, in a dynamic, structured format that provides value across the life cycle • critical variables that measure, reflect, or influence a particular performance objective • capable of being either predicted or measured at various stages of the project so that the achievement of each objective can be evaluated
Facility Information Council • Life-Cycle Information Management • Focus on Stakeholder Decision-Making to Assure Desired Facility Performance • Open to all who are interested • www.nibs.org
