A SURVEY ON THE PERFORMANCE-RISK RATING INDEX FOR BUILDING PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION BUILDINGS

Higher education institutions (HEI) buildings are considered as key functional, as it generates environment, human and economic resources. The growing population of students in HEI is increasing year by year; therefore, it is important to optimize the building performance by conducting a proper performance assessment tool. Inevitably, growing students’ population with various learning activities has constituted risk emergence, green issues, inefficient of energy use and climate discomfort. However, concerns on the prevalence of risk towards occupants are still deficient in assessing building performance . This paper presents the result of rating index for a construct of performance criteria, namely Building Performance-Risk Indicators (PRI). Questionnaire survey involving Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to generate the weightings for each indicator. There were 12 experts from the leading facilities management (FM) industry involved in the survey and rating process. The experts’ subjective weightings of the different attributes are extorted using the AHP computer software Expert Choice 11.
