ABSTRACT

After over a century of service, many Carnegie library buildings in Britain are at risk, often condemned for presumed poor energy performance with heritage protection perceived as a further burden to negotiate. Although most now have heritage status, saving them from demolition, demands to meet changing agendas for efficiency mean that increasingly these buildings are being sold and re-used. A more nuanced reading of measures of performance is necessary. By interrogating operational data in context and establishing indicators for life-cycle analysis, this paper aims to offer generalizable steps to justify their continued service in promoting wellbeing.

摘要

经过一个多世纪的服务，英国的许多卡内基图书馆建筑都处于危险之中，经常因假定能源性能不佳而受到谴责，而遗产保护被视为进一步的谈判负担。尽管大多数现在都具有遗产地位，使它们免于拆除，但满足不断变化的效率议程的需求意味着这些建筑物越来越多地被出售和重新使用。有必要对绩效指标进行更细致的解读。通过在上下文中询问运营数据并建立生命周期分析指标，本文旨在提供可推广的步骤来证明他们在促进福祉方面的持续服务是合理的。
