Abstract

Abstract: Efficient and accurate methods and models are ever-demanding to determining the user satisfaction in energy efficient buildings. Thus, several techniques are developed based on sustainable building assessment tools and standards to achieve such target. However, the user satisfaction from adaptive behavior in the design phase of buildings lifecycle is never addressed. This paper attempts to identify the most applicable data input method to measure the satisfaction from adaptive behavior with energy efficient buildings in their design phase. A comprehensive literature survey on all user satisfaction data input methods is conducted to serve the taxonomy by classifying them into two major clusters depending on performance and perception. Kano method to measure satisfaction perception from cognitive experience is demonstrated to be the most suitable user satisfaction data input method. Furthermore, Kano method can delicately assist energy efficient building design consultants to assess the user contentment requirements for sustainable building accreditation effectively.
