Post-occupancy evaluation - where are you?
Open accessAbstract
This paper provides a historical context for the Probe studies reported in this special issue by describing the stalled development of post-occupancy evaluation (POE) in Britain since the 1960s. It charts 40 years of continuing academic, professional and commercial neglect of POE as a mainstream activity in the procurement of buildings in Britain. It notes the current resurgence of interest in the ‘customer care’ focus of the Egan Report. And it closes by identifying a re-emerging research agenda for POE in Britain. This could include its use for benchmarking progress in the transition towards more sustainable production and consumption of the built environment. Cet article rappelle le contexte historique des études d'évaluation Probe faisant l'objet de cette publication spéciale en décrivant l'évolution stoppée de l'évaluation de la fontionnalité de bâtiments après emménagement (POE) en Grande-Bretagne depuis les années 1960. Il retrace 40 années de négligence continue, aux niveaux académique, professional et commercial, en matière de POE en tant qu'activité principale de l'approvisionnement de bâtiments en Grande-Bretagne. L'auteur prend note du regain d'intérêt actuel pour le «souci du client» comme indiqué dans le Rapport Egan. Il se termine par la présentation d'un nouveau calendrier de recherche pour la POE en Grande-Bretagne. Ces activités pourraient comprendre l'utilisation de la POE en tant que repère dans le cadre de la transition vers une production et une consommation plus durables du milieu bâti.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
