Abstract
To create and operate sustainable buildings, people from all disciplines need to collaborate in more innovative ways. Soft landings involve clients, designers, contractors and end users throughout a project, collating and interweaving the information necessary to fine-tune a building’s performance to ensure a building is fit for purpose, comfortable and easy to use, with maintenance and energy optimised for minimal cost.
