Overview

The Performance Management section outlines a process to support successful performance improvements intended by the State of Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines (B3 Guidelines) by documenting progress towards performance criteria throughout the planning, design, and construction phases. Monitoring of key systems throughout occupancy provides information for continuous improvement of operations and for planning and constructing future State projects. In addition, the Performance Management guidelines address the creation and use of the team necessary for a well-integrated solution, and the thorough evaluation of current and future needs so that all facilities are well-utilized and represent a responsible use of economic and natural resources over time.

Goal

To employ processes that improve the ongoing performance of facilities towards the lowest lifetime costs, and to promote design and operational decisions based on improving environmental, human, and economic outcomes.

Objectives

  • Define a process for tracking progress towards guideline compliance throughout the project development and operation.
  • Document information that captures design intent and actual performance to track progress towards desired guideline outcomes and to facilitate guideline improvement.
  • Define a planning, control and tracking process to ensure that specific steps take place that are needed to support the operational achievement of performance criteria.
  • Initiate and utilize an integrated team approach to produce integrated solutions.
  • Review needs and resources thoroughly so as to maximize utilization of space.
  • Provide guidance on determining the lowest life cycle cost for project alternatives.
