- Abstract
This paper includes preliminary conclusions regarding the importance of quality and long time performance of buildings, particularly housing buildings, from the viewpoint of the satisfaction of the users, as well as socioeconomic consequences and impact of problems related with quality. A case study is presented, where the impact of long time performance of buildings is assessed, and the influence of quality problems, all base on the perception of the inhabitants. The Post-Occupation Evaluation (POE) of the buildings is a little-used tool in Cuba and overseas, regardless of the significant benefits of its use to improve construction quality. The case studied is the housing project La Granjita, which initiated in Santa Clara in 1998. The project consists of multi-family low-rise buildings conceived on purpose for this environment, who have undergone a sudden process of deterioration, mainly because of errors in design and malfunctioning, which have a negative impact on the quality of life of residents. The main thrust of the paper is the presentation of the techniques and methodology used for the POE, as well as the specific conclusions deriving from the analysis, which would contribute to resolve these problems from the conception phase.
