The University of Minnesota follows the state’s sustainable building guidelines, specifically Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), and uses post-occupancy evaluations (POE) to measure user satisfaction with campus buildings. In this session, we’ll demonstrate how to implement sustainability initiatives, which have a significant impact on campus building performance and by extension, user performance and wellbeing. Establishing a system of post-occupancy evaluation can provide you with the IEQ intelligence you need for data-driven design criteria. Come learn how to design sustainable user-friendly environments and evaluate measurable facility user outcomes on your campus.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Outline a campus-wide structure for sustainability initiatives that enhance user performance and wellbeing.
  2. Explain how to implement the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines (Buildings, Benchmarks, and Beyond – B3), specifically IEQ guidelines, in buildings on your campus.
  3. Conduct post-occupancy evaluations to demonstrate how sustainable guidelines can promote improved outcomes for facility occupants.
  4. Identify which IEQ guidelines will effectively foster user wellbeing, augment learning, and enhance research activity.
