Our fourth Design Guide is out!
In collaboration with Interface and the BRE trust, we have created an accessible guide on how to measure the value of good design via Pre-and Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE), inspiring Architects, Designers and End Users to design spaces with people in mind.
Whilst often viewed as difficult to do, POE can be an extremely valuable tool to assess the performance of a building or refurbishment project, and so our guide demystifies the language, process and different approaches to it.
You can download the guide here. Or copy this link into your browser: https://info.interface.com/whitepapers-en_GB
Check out the video below to discover what it’s all about…
Within the guide, we showcase some great projects that have undertaken POE from Spacelab, CBRE, and BRE. Plus, you’ll find some inspiring insights from these experts in the field who we spoke with while writing the guide:
