AVALIAÇÃO PÓS-OCUPAÇÃO: PRÉ-TESTE DE INSTRUMENTOS PARA VERIFICAÇÃO DO DESEMPENHO DE EMPREENDIMENTOS HABITACIONAIS EM SISTEMAS CONSTRUTIVOS INOVADORES

This article discusses the importance of pre-testing and the results of its application in a procedure for performance evaluation of occupied residential buildings to contribute for improving the knowledge about the quality of both the built environment and the innovative building systems specified within a systemic view of the life cycle of buildings. The proposed standardized procedure, involving a set of tools optimized for performance evaluation, was based on the methodology of the Post-Occupancy Evaluation and also on requirements and criteria established by the Brazilian Standard ABNT/NBR 15575:2013. It is emphasized that this set of tools was designed to allow a preliminary assessment of the service provided by the innovative building system for housing developments to performance requirements for Brazilian standards, considering its main features. The proposed and pretested instruments pointed out that the participation of users (residents) is essential for the performance evaluation of residential buildings in use, combined with the application of instruments for the technical evaluation of the performance by experts as a way to obtain essential inputs to improve the process and management aiming at ensuring architectural and constructive quality.
