• What a comprehensive post occupancy evaluation consists of.
• The financial costs, additional energy/water consumed and impacts on student/teacher performance that go unnoticed without conducting such evaluations.
• The unexpected impacts that well‐intended design concepts and ‘value engineering’ decisions can have on building occupants.
• The overall value of conducting POEs from the educational facility owner’s standpoint.
