Post-occupancy Evaluation: State-of-the-Art Analysis and State-of-the-Practice Review

Peixian Li, Thomas M. Froese, Gail BragerUniversity of British Columbia / UC Berkeley2018Building and Environment

Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) assesses building performance after occupation. This review synthesizes POE history, benefits, 146 projects since 2010, and 16 protocols, arguing POE should move from one-off academic studies toward continuous, owner- and occupant-oriented, industry-integrated practice.

Primary findings

POE is essential for learning whether buildings perform as intended for occupants and operators
Exploratory
Practice remains fragmented across methods, protocols, and reporting standards
Exploratory
POE should transition from one-off studies to continuing, integrated performance feedback
Exploratory
Owner- and occupant-oriented evaluation is more actionable than researcher-only studies
Exploratory

Methodology

Critical review of POE literature with statistical analysis of 146 projects and comparison of POE protocols

Application context

Property & Place Operations

Post-occupancy intelligence

Stewardship feedback loops

Limitations

Single-study synthesis; context may not transfer universally.

Evidence suggests association within stated boundaries — not universal causation.
