country besides acting as a landmark and also as tourism booster. Due to many important roles they play,
conservation refurbishment is executed to conserve and preserve heritage buildings for future generation and
some of them were adapted into new uses such as a museum. POE is executed to evaluate the building
performance after they undergone a refurbishment process. Technical performance is one of the elements POE.
Previous studies focus on limited technical performance criteria however this study will establish the technical
part from a more holistic perspective focuses on a heritage museum building. Thus, this study focuses on
reviewing the technical performance criteria of POE on refurbished heritage museum buildings from literature
review and also from the semi-structured interview. This study adopts a comprehensive literature review from
various sources such as journals, government documents, website documents, books and online books
whereas, the semi-structured interview was conducted towards the experts from the museum department.
Finding shows that the technical performance criteria for refurbished heritage museum buildings were
temperature, relative humidity, lighting, acoustics, indoor air quality, MVAC, security, plumbing, sanitation,
electrical services, fire safety, building finishes, structure, energy consumptions, water consumptions, pest
control and lastly adaptability.
