Abstract
Works and Development Services Corporation (NZ) Ltd, (WORKS) started developing techniques for post-occupancy evaluations of government-designed buildings in 1979. It was at that time the New Zealand Ministry of Works and Development (MWD). Under the direction of the first author, who was then the Assistant Government Architect (Design), the initiative was in response to pressures from the New Zealand Government for improved accountability of the former Ministry’s architectural services. A system for conducting POEs was designed with the help of researchers from the School of Architecture of the Victoria University of Wellington. Advice was taken from other experts, notably Professor Robert Shibley, who was at that time directing a POE program on behalf of the US Army Corps of Engineers, one of the few government agencies in the world then successfully operating a POE program (Shibley, 1985).
