Phases of POE

Typically, there are three phases of Post Occupancy Evaluation (Zimring, 2008)
The planning phase consists of reconnaissance and feasibility studies, and research and resource planning. In this phase, the parameters of the project are established; the schedule, costs, and work force needs are determined; and plans for data collection procedures, times, and amounts are laid out.

The conducting phase consists of initiating the on-site data collection processes, monitoring and managing the data collection procedures, and analyzing the data. One important aspect of the conducting phase is to ensure that data being collected meets POE goals and does not bias the results.

The applying phase consists of preparing documents reporting the findings of analysis, recommending actions, and monitoring and reviewing the outcomes of any such action undertaken. Outcomes are important, because they may be used as a feedback to modify and/or improve the next cycle of POE processes. These three phases can be outline using a diagram and its exhibits the interaction among three phases as follows
