The ready availability and widespread deployment of IoT devices and sensors enable a high granularity of quantitative data to be collected to give a real-time appraisal of a building’s environmental performance. Rating and assessment frameworks are increasingly taking advantage of insights that can be derived from both new building technology and big data analytics. Yet, climate change action requires new perspectives that move towards a post-anthropocentric and more-than-human viewpoint. This paper makes a threefold contribution. In order to highlight a gap, we (1) critique select Green Building Rating Tools, (2) contrast current achievements and targets with what climate change action demands of the built environment’s performance; and (3) we discuss several causes for the disconnect between actual and aspirational ends of the performance measurement spectrum and offer some possible responses and actions with a view to stimulate scholarly debate and engagement to leapfrog the performance of the built environment.

以超越人类的视角来理解建筑环境的性能

物联网设备和传感器的现成可用和广泛部署使得能够收集高粒度的定量数据，从而对建筑物的环境性能进行实时评估。评级和评估框架越来越多地利用可以从新建筑技术和大数据分析中获得的见解。然而，气候变化行动需要新的视角，转向后人类中心主义和超越人类的观点。本文做出了三方面的贡献。为了突出差距，我们（1）批评选择绿色建筑评级工具，（2）将当前的成就和目标与气候变化行动对建筑环境性能的要求进行对比；
