An evaluation is the process of examining a system or system
component to determine the extent to which specified properties are
presentOverall satisfaction of the end users is more important in
housing performance evaluationPost Occupancy Evaluation is
qualified by a range of alternative terms such as: Building-In-Use
Studies, Building Diagnostics Building Pathology Building
EvaluationBuilding Appraisal

Preiser et al., 1988 defines POE as the process of evaluating
buildings in a systematic and rigorous manner after they have been
built and occupied for some timeA more specific definition is given
by Watson, 2003 as a systematic evaluation of opinion about
buildings in use, from the perspective of the people who use
themThere are three perspectives to the evaluation of buildings:
Occupants, and how well their needs are met Environmental
performance, normally energy and water efficiency Whether the
building makes economic sense, such as value for money or return on
investment

Health and safety problems;Security problems;Leakage;Poor
signage and way finding problems;Poor air circulation and
temperature control; Handicapped accessibility problems;Lack of
storage;Lack of privacy;Hallway blockage;Aesthetic problems;Entry
door problems with wind and accumulation of dirt;Inadequacy of
designing space for equipment;Maintainability of glass surfaces
(e.g. skywalks or inaccessible skylights).
.Introduction Uses of POE

7
It creates a platform to understand the needs and desires of
building users and thus provide more suiting environments to
accommodate those needsSuccesses and errors are identified, to
determine what needs to be repeated and what needs to be avoided in
future designsTo identify problem areas in existing buildings, to
test new building prototypes and to develop design guidance and
criteria for future facilitiesLowering facility lifecycle costs by
identifying design errors that could lead to increased maintenance
and operating costsEnsures accountability and responsibility on the
part of housing managers, designers and policy makersThrough a POE
study much ideas and solution are developed to achieve buildings
sustainabilityBeneficiaries of a POE study include: designers
wanting to avoid past mistakes; educators passing the knowledge on
to students; existing and prospective building owners, occupiers,
developers and managers; and policy makers looking for the best way
forward

.Statement of the Problemof

10
Re-occurring failure of housing projects is due to the lack of
feed-back and lessons-learned derived from the end-users or
occupants perspective Few POE-studies of domestic housing
facilities
Impartial/Incomprehensive studies carried out so far
Holistic approaches to POE should be given priority in the
property sector
An inevitable fine-tuning process takes place after the
completion and occupation of a facility (in this case
AL-Marooj)
.Research Objectiveof

11
Develop a holistic framework for post-occupancy evaluation of
residential housing facilities.
Apply the developed POE framework to a case study of the
newly-occupied Al-Marooj Courts at the King Fahd University of
Petroleum and Minerals.
