The document discusses ways to make buildings smarter and more sustainable through various techniques. It advocates for smarter clients who understand both current and future needs and who work with a capable supply chain. It also promotes the use of low carbon technologies like air source heat pumps and solar thermal installations. Finally, it recommends the Soft Landings process and building information modeling (BIM) as ways to improve building performance and deliver better outcomes through greater collaboration between clients and industry.

Soft Landings
1.Adopt the entire process
2.Provide leadership
3.Set roles and responsibilities
4.Ensure continuity
5.Commit to aftercare
6.Share risk and responsibility
7.Use feedback to inform design
8.Focus on operational outcomes
9.Involve the building managers
10.Involve the end users
11.Set performance objectives
12.Communicate and inform

Making buildings better
What clients and industry need now is a helpful degree of convergence
•On processes and procedures
•On training and technical support
•On terminology, on the cost benefits, on the contractual requirements
•In reporting procedures and risk management methods (in BIM)
•On definitions of operational outcomes and performance requirements
•On metrics for measuring success – both quantitative and qualitative
