The intent of this whole building performance measurement analysis is to discover how GSA might better understand how its sustainably designed buildings are performing in comparison to traditionally designed buildings. Ideally, this information will be used to gain perspective, inform design and construction, and advance operation of GSA's buildings portfolio.
This study compares measured whole building performance for 14 GSA buildings to industry standard performance of energy, water, maintenance and operations, waste, recycling, transportation, and occupant satisfaction metrics.
