Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) was first introduce some 40 years ago. However, it has only recently begun to make an impact on the agenda of occupiers, designers and developers, not only in the UK and USA, but throughout the world. 

The relationship between office space and business performance has been a keenly researched theme of the BCO since the publication in 2005 of "The Impact of Office Design on Business Performance". Building upon the conclusions of this seminal research reports, this new guide is designed to raise awareness of the benefits of POE and to make it accessible to the occupiers, developers and designers by providing practical advice on how they can instigate their own POE studies. 

Written in partnership with Swanke Hayden Connell Architects, by Nigel Oseland for the BCO membership.
