[en] The Occupant-Centered Adaptive Façades Assessment Survey (OCAFAS-15) is an instrument with good validity, reliability and high internal consistency in assessing well-being and interaction of occupants in buildings with adaptive facades. The OCAFAS-15 benefits from its brevity and ease of completion (generally, 12 min or less, including the occupant’s personal information). A statistically valid and reliable instrument for evaluating occupants’ satisfaction provides façade designers and operators with a useful tool for considering what is most important to the occupant, guiding facades design decisions, and conveying to the operators and building owners that the occupants’ well-being and interaction in building with adaptive facades is the facades engineers’ primary consideration.
