The Probe project, which started in 1995, has been a unique joint venture between the UK government (Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions), a publisher and a research team. It has undertaken post-occupancy surveys of well-regarded new commercial and public buildings, typically 2-3 years after completion. The purpose was to provide feedback on generic and specific information on factors for success in the design, construction, operation and use of buildings, together with areas of difficulty and disappointment. This paper outlines the project and describes the survey methods used, and prospects for further development. It considers the opportunities for more widespread deployment of post-occupancy surveys as routine quality assurance measures for the building industry and its clients. Papers 2 to 4 in this series discuss the findings on technical performance, energy performance and occupant satisfaction. Paper 5 draws some general conclusions and considers their implications. Le projet Probe a ete lance conjointement en 1995 par le Gouvernement du Royaume-Uni (Ministere de l'environnement, du transport et des regions), un editeur et une equipe de recherche. Son objectif etait d'evaluer la fonctionnalite apres emmenagement de nouveaux immeubles commerciaux et publics bien entretenus; ces etudes etaient menees generalement 2 a 3 ans apres l'achevement des batiments. Il s'agissait d'obtenir des informations generales ou precises sur des facteurs devant contribuer a la reussite de la conception, de la construction, de l'exploitation et de l'usage de batiments et aussi d'indiquer les difficultes et les deceptions. Cet article presente le projet et decrit les methodes d'evaluation utilisees ainsi que les perspectives de developpement. Il considere les moyens de mieux faire connaitre les etudes de fonctionnalite apres emmenagement afin que l'industrie du batiment et ses clients disposent regulierement d'etalons de mesure utiles en matiere d'assurance qualite. Les articles n o 2 a 4 de cette serie portent sur les resultats obtenus en ce qui concerne les performances techniques, le rendement energetique et la satisfaction des occupants. L'article n o 5 tire quelques conclusions generales et envisage ce qui pourrait en decouler. |
