Let me start by asking a simple question: how familiar are you with the office and building procedures at your place of work? This may appear to be a random question, the reason for which I hope will become obvious.

I’m sure you won’t be surprised to learn that when looking at how buildings operate, much of the everyday functioning is driven by aspects of the original design. This is derived from the various strategies applied during the design process and is meant to provide a safe and efficient means of operating the building once completed.
