Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is used to evaluate the degree to which buildings enable users to fulfil their requirements. It refers to the process of evaluating buildings in a systematic and rigorous manner after they have been occupied for some time.

POE focuses on building occupants and it is one of the best methods for identifying the problems and opportunities that exist in a building. The derived insight is useful for all the stakeholders involved in the design, operation and maintenance of a building as it helps them achieve the optimum combination of cost and value.
