How often should post-occupancy evaluations be conducted for commercial refrigeration systems?

The frequency of post-occupancy evaluations (POEs) for commercial refrigeration systems depends on various factors, including system complexity, usage patterns, and manufacturer recommendations. As a general rule, POEs should be conducted at least every 6-12 months, or whenever significant changes occur in the building’s occupancy, usage, or operating conditions. Regular POEs enable early detection of potential issues, allowing for prompt corrective actions to maintain system efficiency and performance.
