A Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is a process of evaluating and assessing the performance of a building or facility after it has been occupied and used for a period of time. It is an important tool for assessing the successes and shortcomings of buildings and facilities, and for identifying opportunities for improvement. A POE typically involves gathering data through surveys, interviews, and observations of building occupants, and analyzing the data to identify areas where improvements can be made to enhance the building or facility's performance and user experience. The insights gleaned from a POE can inform future design and building decisions to optimize user satisfaction and meet the needs of the building's occupants.
