GENERAL
Occupant Handbook
Demonstrate that an occupant handbook was prepared by a suitably qualified person
from the design team and updated at the end of construction. The Occupant Handbook
must include:
� The maintenance requirements for the building’s performance; and
� Actions to be implemented to ensure that the longer term aspects of building
management and maintenance are upheld as new techniques come into effect over
the lifespan of the building.
Occupant Feedback
Where the above requirements are met, it is possible for projects to earn one
additional Credit Point by providing occupants with feedback on how their behavior
affects building performance. These systems should include:
� Digital Feedback Systems/Smart Meters with a user interface (e.g. dashboards)
inside each tenancy and connected to the centralized building data aggregation
centre or BMS.
