Intent:

Implement and integrative process that supports high performance, cost‐effective project outcomes through analyses of key systems interrelationships before decisions are made on design and building form and throughout the design process.

Substantial Completion

In typical green building projects, 

70% of the decisions

associated with environmental impacts are made 

during the first 10 percent of the Design Process*

Before the completion of Pre‐design: assess at least two potential parametric options associated with each:

• Energy related systems‐ “simple box” energy model analysis.

• Programming & operational parameters• Site conditions• Massing & orientation• Basic envelope attributes• Lighting levels• Thermal comfort ranges• Plug & process loads

• Implementation‐ Document how the analysis informed design and building form decisions in the project’s OPR and BOD. 

• Building and site program• Form & geometry• Envelope & façade treatments• Elevation & Façade treatment • Downsizing of building systems (HVAC, lighting, controls, 

exterior materials, interior finishes, and functional program).• Other systems

• Water related systems – water budget analysis to explore how to reduce potable water loads

• Indoor water (flow & flow fixture performance)• Outdoor water (irrigation performance)• Process water (kitchen, laundry, cooling tower & other equip.)• Supply sources (non‐potable water supply sources‐ rainwater, 

greywater, municipally supplied non‐potable sources, HVAC equipment condensate).

• Implementation: how integrated design informed building & site design decisions in the project’s OPR and BOD.

• Plumbing systems• Sewage conveyance• On‐site treatment systems• Stormwater quantity & quality management systems• Landscaping• Irrigation and site elements• Roofing systems and/or building form and geometry• Other systems

• Cost analysis – (related to systems) estimate the cost of integrative strategies.  Include at a minimum:

• Baseline construction budget• Baseline operations budget • Create a cost‐bundling spreadsheet identifying primary bundles 

of interrelated systems • Identify and quantify potential design case first cost impacts 

(both reductions and increases)• Identify potential design case operational costs associated with 

each primary bundle • Identify any potential design case cost savings/benefits related 

to productivity issues associated with each primary bundle, where possible
