Filter results to compare comfort acrosss space over time.</p>
<p>This kind of post-occupancy evaluation focuses not just on the building's stats, but also on how people are experiencing the space. Together with metric data and employe experience feedback, the firm was able to produce an overall better design. The building was awarded the AIA’s new Top Ten Plus Award this month, an annual honor given to a building with outstanding performance data.</p><p><a href="https://archinect.com/features/article/149988442/how-to-get-a-job-at-kierantimberlake" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Want to work at K...</a></p>
