Wikipedia

  1. Performance gap

    A performance gap is a disparity that is found between the energy use predicted and carbon emissions in the design stage of buildings and the energy use of those buildings in operation. Research in the UK suggests that actual carbon emissions from new homes can be 2.5 times the design estimates, on average. For non-domestic buildings, the gap is even higher - actual carbon emissions as much as 3.8 times the design estimates, on average.There are established tools for reducing the performance gap, by reviewing project objectives, outline and detailed design drawings, design calculations, implementation of designs on site, and post-occupancy evaluation. NEF's Assured Performance Process (APP) is one such tool, which is being used extensively on different sites that form part of East Hampshire's Whitehill and Bordon new town development, one of the largest regeneration projects anywhere in the UK, with high ambitions for both environmental performance and health.

Examples of performance gap in a Sentence

  1. Sebastien Loeb:

    The opening has not been too bad, even if it is not easy to start in the night and in icy conditions, the first stage went OK but we didn't select the best tyres for the second one and we suffered as a result of that. We perhaps under-estimated the performance gap between the slick tyres and four snow tyres.
