This webinar aimed to provide the definition of Post Occupancy (Design) Evaluation from the Skanska perspective. A brief background and recent history of POE in the wider industry was also summarised. The reasons why POE is thought to be a cost effective means of providing useful feedback to improve designs for the benefit of clients was covered.  Also the description of how Skanska made the decision to engage with the process and the description of the methodology adopted. This also included defining limitations, articulating the risks and their mitigation and the alignment with the original brief for the project. A number of case study projects including hospitals, schools and office buildings were briefly described and the relevant findings summarised.  Technical issues and their interface with Building Information Modelling (BIM) will be introduced.  Similarly the social aspect of occupant behaviour weretouched upon.
