Why This Workflow Matters

The business case for implementing this workflow.

Architecture firms rarely evaluate how their buildings perform after occupancy — missing the feedback loop that drives design improvement. Only 3-5% of commercial buildings undergo formal POE. Without POE data, firms repeat design mistakes across projects. Clients increasingly request performance evidence before hiring architects. POE data is gold for marketing, knowledge management, and design improvement, yet almost no one does it because the process is undefined and uneconomical.

The Bigger Puzzle

How AI + Odoo creates something greater than the sum of its parts.

AI + Odoo Synergy
Building occupied → POE scheduled in Project → occupant surveys deployed → building performance data collected → AI analyzes satisfaction and performance against design intent → POE report generated in Documents → lessons learned captured in Knowledge base → design improvements identified for future projects → client-facing report delivered as post-project service → POE findings used in marketing and proposals → firm's design approach improves measurably over time.

Current Alternatives & Why They Fall Short

The existing solutions and their limitations.

CBE Surveys / Center for the Built Environment
UC Berkeley's Center for the Built Environment provides standardized occupant satisfaction surveys and benchmarking for commercial buildings.
$5,000-$15,000 per building survey — Academic research pricing
Limitations
  • Survey only — no AI analysis or report generation
  • Expensive per building for routine evaluation
  • No integration with firm knowledge management
  • Doesn't connect survey results to specific design decisions
Why RebusAI is Better
AI generates complete POE reports — surveys, performance analysis, lessons learned, and client reports — integrated with the firm's knowledge management in Odoo. Every project contributes to firm-wide design intelligence.
Building Performance Consultants
Specialized consultants conducting post-occupancy evaluations including building performance measurement and occupant surveys.
$10,000-$50,000 per evaluation — Depending on building complexity
Limitations
  • Expensive per evaluation
  • Findings stay in a report — not integrated with firm knowledge
  • Recommendations rarely implemented in future projects systematically
  • One-time evaluation, not ongoing performance tracking
Why RebusAI is Better
AI-assisted POE at a fraction of consultant costs, with findings automatically integrated into the firm's Knowledge base in Odoo for application to future projects. Learning from buildings becomes systematic, not occasional.
No Post-Occupancy Evaluation
The reality for 95%+ of architecture projects: the firm moves on after construction and never evaluates building performance.
Zero cost — But repeated design mistakes and missed learning
Limitations
  • Design mistakes repeated across projects
  • No evidence of building performance for marketing
  • Client relationship ends at construction — no ongoing value
  • Firm can't demonstrate design effectiveness to prospects
  • Industry-wide knowledge gap perpetuates poor building performance
Why RebusAI is Better
AI makes POE economical and efficient for the first time — generating frameworks, analyzing data, and producing reports that transform post-occupancy evaluation from a rare luxury into standard practice.
