Integrated Integrative LEED v4

Predesign / Conceptualization Is a new building is actually needed? Would different space planning or the renovation of an existing building bet better? What site characteristics are optimal?

Team Members come together to compare ideas, set performance goals and share expertise as a one cohesive team of co-designers. Energy saving Water saving Water recycling Solar heat gain reduction etc.

Spend money on a charrette now to save money later

Myth The Integrative Process takes longer Fact While the design phases is longer, the overall project time is usually less.

Utilize ongoing forms of communication with the site workers and subs to reinforce the sustainability intent.

Commissioning uncovers deficiencies in design or installation using peer review and field verification.

Commissioning $1.16 ROI cost per SF for commissioning $4.00 Saved per year say $1.00 green building practices are important in space search for every dollar invested in commissioning

Post-Occupancy The building s life Occupant Feedback System Monitoring Recommissioning

LEED v4 Integrative Process Credit Identify and use opportunities to achieve synergies across disciplines and the building s energy and water related systems.
