Building performance diagnoses using post occupancy evaluation for low energy office building practices

Sustainable environment trend of future directions is toward Low Energy Office (LEO) buildings. There are some shortcomings observed in LEO building practices in most developing countries. Preliminary researches indicated that LEO problematic areas have not been thoroughly investigated. Moreover, ma...
