B3 Post Occupancy Evaluation Library
The SPOES process is aimed at demonstrating real outcomes from sustainable design guidelines. We ask occupants questions about their satisfaction with the IEQ categories regulated by the B3 Guidelines. Additional questions are included about their demographics, type of workspace, commuting behaviors, and physical activity. See About the Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) for a more detailed explanation.
Below is a list of all public Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluations (SPOES) for B3 Guidelines projects. This analysis of the results is intended to inform business and building owners, architects, interior designers, and facility managers about the satisfaction of occupants with B3 projects.
As the SPOES differ between different building types and some projects may have more than one building type, a single building may have SPOES for more than one category.

B3 Buildings use the SPOES
This online survey takes occupants approximately 10 minutes to complete. It has been developed to:
- Meet B3 Guidelines requirement (FREE administration and analysis for B3 buildings)
- Examine occupants’ satisfaction with the IEQ criteria in their physical environments
- Generate an IEQ Score of occupants’ satisfaction
- Measure “vital signs” of the building’s IEQ based on occupants’ perceptions
- Direct attention to areas of success or those needing improvement
- Compare IEQ of building to benchmarks
The SPOES is required and is free to B3 buildings. It is administered and analyzed by B3 staff.
