AIM:
• To identify and strengthenthe weaknesses ofthe designand buildstagesofa building inorderto decrease the timeofthe SoftLanding process
• To investigate the potentialof usingsimulation inthe SoftLanding processwith the aim to decrease this process time
DESCRIPTION:To conduct detailed postoccupancy evaluation with a view to identifying keyweaknesses ofthe design &build stages; and the commissioning of buildingsand how they affect the energy performance.
The project objectives are:• To conduct a detailed post occupancyanalysis ofthe SIPBS building, as a
case study• Toinvestigate the applicability of building performance simulation to
validate and progress the soft landing theory.

COMMENTS:Thepost occupancy evaluation wasconducted bythe team through detailedanalysis ofdesign specifications, interviews with designers, modelling andsimulation within IBS, several sitevisitsincluding takingofthermal images,user surveys and analysis of metered and BMS data.
DELIVERABLES:
• Aunique process of soft landingshowingthe benefits of usingsimulation"Hit the Ground Running".
• Quantitative benefits ofusing simulation in post building commissioningagainst the potential energy cost
