Bridging The Gap in Green Building Research: The Role of Post Occupancy Evaluation

The building sector has contributed to reducing carbon emissions
and energy consumption by implementing green buildings in the last
decade. Green building performance evaluation studies can be evidence to
the community about the advantages of implementing sustainability
concepts in the building sector, such as through Post Occupancy Evaluation
(POE). Several POE studies have been conducted to measure building
performance. Nevertheless, only a few literature studies about POE
specifically for Green Building. Thus, this study aims to conduct a review
about POE in green buildings literature, to 1) identify the prominent
institutions, countries, publishers, authors, and keywords of this topic; 2)
identify the gaps in building types, and green building standards of this
research topic; 3) identify green building standards, building types,
countries, POE purposes, indicators, and analysis methods used of selected
articles. This article’s method uses bibliometric and scientometric analysis
using VOSviewer, a database set from Scopus. The data uses 116 articles,
249 institutions, 27 countries, 48 sources, 326 authors, and 897 keywords
related to POE studies in green buildings. The findings from this research
will be useful for practitioners interested in improving the quality of green
building standards.
