The study reports a Post Occupancy Evaluation performed on a residential area of Shalimar gallant, in which IEQ parameters like indoor environment quality, visual comfort and thermal comfort needed investigation. The resulting knowledge is of special interest for other projects designed to be mass-produced such as residential apartments. Large costs for repairs can be reduced by applying measures to avoid IEQ issues in indoor environments. The study was conducted in the residential apartment known as Shalimar Gallant in Mahanagar, Lucknow. The evaluation was performed over first stages i.e. indicative. The process was mapped and the data was recorded with devices like WBGT, temtop, luxmeter, etc. In the indicative stage, data was collected through questionnaires and surveys, and a quick evaluation was conducted of the affected units. The results show that many factors were involved in the IEQ, whose main cause was poor indoor air quality. The thermal and visual comfort met the occupants’ satisfaction need. The only parameter which is lacking is the indoor air quality, IAQ. Therefore, some of the design guidelines can be adapted that can be implemented post occupancy for improving indoor air quality.
