building energy performance

Building energy performance refers to how efficiently a building uses energy, such as electricity, heating, and cooling, to maintain a comfortable and functional environment. It involves the design, materials, systems, and operations that influence energy consumption and environmental impact. A well-performing building minimizes waste, reduces costs, and lowers emissions, often through good insulation, efficient systems, and smart management. Essentially, it measures how effectively a building uses energy to meet occupants’ needs while conserving resources and reducing environmental impact.
