Green Communities™: Integrated Design Process

Thursday, July 14, 2005
90 minutes beginning 2:03p ET, 1:03p CT, 12:03p MT, 11:03a PT

Description

Integrated design is at the foundation of the green building process. By exploring green building early on and with the full spectrum of project stakeholders, the greatest number of green features can be incorporated at the lowest cost.

This session will describe the components of an effective integrated design process including how to: organize and facilitate a green building charrette; set priorities among green features; establish specific energy, resource, and health performance goals; address issues of cost from a strategic perspective; create a mechanism for on-going feedback; and, capture successful strategies for use in future projects.

Expected Outcomes

v Participants will gain familiarity with the basic terminology of green building

v Participants will learn the benefits and components of the integrated design process

v Participants will learn how to organize and conduct a charrette

v Participants will learn how to carry concepts developed in the charrette through to design and construction

Who should attend?

v Developers of affordable housing

v Architects

v Construction managers
