The papers in this e-book illustrate the wide range of considerations that emerge in the briefing process: various and competing issues jockeying for supremacy. Today we accept the contribution of many varied stakeholders in the briefing process addressing accessibility, the environment and human health. This is reflected in all of the papers in this e-book. Each of them attempt to either (1) recognise the requirements of a particular stakeholder; (2) formalise the briefing process to ensure that stakeholder contributions are identified and weighted; and (3) develop visualisation tools to enable facilities managers to contribute more effectively to the design process.
