The building evaluation report (IEE) is a document that evaluates the technical, functional, energy and accessibility situation of a building, in accordance with the regulations and requirements established in local or national legislation. This report is prepared with the objective of obtaining a global vision of the state of the building and determining possible deficiencies or necessary improvements.

The content and methodology of the IEE may vary depending on the specific regulations of each country or region, but in general it may include:

1. Visual inspection of the building: A detailed analysis of the state of conservation of the building, including its structure, envelope, facilities and construction elements.
2. Energy assessment: An evaluation of the building’s energy consumption, its energy efficiency and possible recommendations to improve it.
3. Accessibility: An evaluation of the accessibility of the building for people with disabilities or reduced mobility, in accordance with current regulations.
4. Functional evaluation: An evaluation of the functionality and suitability of the building for its intended use, including analysis of possible deficiencies in spaces and layout.
5. Conclusions and recommendations: A summary of the identified deficiencies, possible improvements necessary and recommendations for their correction.

The IEE (Building Evaluation Report) and the ITE (Technical Building Inspection) are two concepts related to the evaluation of the condition of buildings, but they differ in some key aspects.

1. Definition: The IEE is a report that evaluates the technical, functional, energy and accessibility status of a building, in accordance with the regulations and requirements established in local or national legislation. On the other hand, the ITE is a mandatory technical inspection that some municipalities in certain countries require for buildings of a certain age, in order to verify their state of conservation and safety.
2. Scope: The IEE evaluates various aspects of the building, including its state of conservation, energy efficiency, accessibility and functionality, providing a global vision of its situation. On the other hand, the ITE focuses mainly on the inspection of the state of conservation and safety of the building, with emphasis on elements such as the structure, façade, roof and basic facilities.
3. Mandatory: The IEE may be required or recommended by local or national authorities, but its mandatory nature varies according to the legislation of each country or region. On the other hand, ITE is mandatory in some countries or cities for buildings of a certain age, generally with inspection intervals established by local regulations.
4. Responsible professionals: The IEE can be carried out by qualified professionals such as architects, engineers or specialized technicians, depending on local regulations. On the other hand, the ITE is usually carried out by designated municipal technicians or by professionals authorized by the municipality.
5. Content: The content and methodology of the IEE may vary depending on the specific standards and regulations of each country or region, but generally includes a comprehensive evaluation of the building, with conclusions and recommendations. On the other hand, the ITE usually has a more standardized format and focuses on the specific technical inspection of the elements under review.
