Building Performance Evaluation


Book Description

The main aim of this book is to present an intriguing retrospective of Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) as it evolved from Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) over the past 25 years. On one hand, this is done by updating original authors' chapter content of Building Evaluation, the first edition published in 1989. That, in turn, is augmented by an orientation toward current and future practice on the other, including new authors who are engaged in ongoing, cutting edge projects. Therefore, individual, methodology oriented chapters covering the fundamental principles of POE and BPE go along with major thematic chapters, topics of which like sustainability or integration of new technologies are addressed in a diversity of case studies from around the globe. Research, methodologies, and framework of POEs continue to evolve. POEs are one step, on the larger scale of BPE, in understanding how buildings function after they are occupied. This resource helps a rchitects, building owners, and facility managers understand the implications and reactions to the facilities that they designed, built and/or commissioned. By considering the whole process from conception to future uses of the building, there can be a more holistic approach to the planning, programming, design, construction, occupancy, and future adaptability of the structure. This book is dedicated to first editor Wolfgang F. E. Preiser who passed away during the process of editing and reviewing chapters of this volume.

Little Lambs for Christ


Book Description

Finally, what every Christian parent has been waiting for...an interactive guide on how to share the principles of the Christian faith with their children! Many Christian parents rely on others such as Sunday School Teachers, Church Pastors, and Youth Directors to teach their children about God and His gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. However, the Bible teaches that this is the responsibility of parents. We are to, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."One evening, a thought came into Chris Christensen's mind. "If I were suddenly taken out of this world," he wondered, "would my children currently have enough wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of God's holy word to love and follow Him all the days of their lives?" Wanting to be a "responsible daddy," he created what he refers to as a "Checklist of Realities" that range from, "Don't worry about things" and "The difference between good and evil" to "What are we saved from?" and "You are not an animal". The end result remained a private, loving conversation between a father and his children until Christensen, and adult Sunday School Teacher and Radio Bible Study Host learned that many parents across the nation admitted to having no idea how to use the Gospel as a resource to share their Christian beliefs with their children. Made up of twenty-one chapters that include life lessons and scriptures from the Bible, "Little Lambs for Christ" delivers a powerful three-week program that covers the eternal foundations of the Christian faith, and allows loving parents the unique opportunity to sit down and spend quality teaching time with their youngsters. We live in a world today that ever-increasingly conflicts with our Christian faith. This interactive guide is an absolute must for every "uncertain parent", or grandparent, that has a passion for sharing Jesus Christ with a child."This book was written to and for my own children, as a personal guide for their Christian faith. I am now honored to share it with other families. As parents read the book with their children they will feel the love written in the words because they are the words of a loving daddy, and they will relate to this. When I became a daddy, I learned about a love that only a daddy could know. It's the same love that the Father has for His Son, Jesus. It's the same love that Jesus has for all of us. Before I was a daddy, I could only imagine this level of love. When I became a daddy, I could experience this love. It is because of this love that I have written this book. My love for my children is so abundant that I am able to share it with other parents to share with their children."I pray that you will learn, and never forget what is written in this book. The truth concerning salvation is the greatest gift you could ever receive from, or give to another person.Share this truth gift with your children. It will be the greatest gift they could ever receive from you throughout their lives!
