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.
