This paper introduces a Methodology based on Value Engineering to evaluate public buildings after
occupancy. This Methodology contains three aspects, namely, Functional performance, quality and
cost.
This paper reviews some methodologies for the evaluation of administrative building by value
engineering and sustainability rather than Environmental and Energy aspects. In the economical
analysis of the public building , is carried by the new proposed formula expressed by the following:
Economical efficiency Index=1-[(final- initial) costs/ Initial cost]
The functional performance is divided to three elements, namely, analysis of the site, Functions of
the basic and complementary building elements.
The quality of the building is expressed by the degree of satisfaction of the occupants and contains
Humanitarian needs and functional needs .The third aspect of evaluation is the economical analysis
of the building .Hundred points are assigned for each aspect .The Building can be classified to one
of these categories, according to the percentage points obtained by it : Very good 85% ,(70-85)%
good , (50-70)%acceptable, less than 50 % not acceptable . This methodology is applied to the
hospital and institute of liver , Monofia University. After evaluation, the building has obtained
(64.47)% acceptable .
This study revealed that this building did not apply Value engineering through any stage of its
construction.
