Abstract
In Europe, since the application of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), energy requirements have been ever stronger, leading the construction industry to design buildings whose energy consumption is continuously reduced. Nevertheless, no large-scale experience feedbacks on the occupants’ satisfaction of high efficient residential buildings are available in Wallonia. Therefore, the first MEASURE project objective is the evaluation of occupants’ satisfaction in high energy performance dwellings by the use of a questionnaire. This questionnaire, divided in several parts, covers a technical description of the building and its systems, a global appreciation of the building in terms of respiratory, thermal, acoustic and luminous comfort and a detailed evaluation of the occupants’ satisfaction. The responses should permit to identify attention points and improvements required to achieve a comfortable environment for occupants and increase the effectiveness of energy performance. This paper focuses on the methodological approach used to establish a questionnaire adapted to the evaluation of the occupants’ satisfaction in high energy performance dwellings. It describes the different stages of the questionnaire realisation: the identification of dependent and independent notions to study as well as indicators defining each notion, the focus-group step and the test of the
