Integrative Process Flashcards
How many total points can be earned max for the Integrative Process category?
1
To earn the integrative process credit, the project team will need to do what?
Conduct prelim research & analysis for the energy & water related systems of the building & evaluate them to achieve project goals & targeted LEED credits
What is the intent of the integrative process LEED credit?
Support high performance, cost effective project outcomes through the early analysis of the interrelationships among systems
What is simple box energy modeling in an integrative process?
Prelim building model used to assess building’s energy loads
A simple box energy model needs to assess at least 2 of these 7 strategies?
- site conditions
- massing & orientation
- basic envelope attributes
- lighting levels
- thermal comfort ranges
- plug & process load needs
- programmatic & operational parameters
At the end of the simple box energy model, a project team needs to document how the integrative process informed the design of the following:
- building & site program
- building form & geometry
- building envelope & facade treatments at different orientations
- elimination &/or significant downsizing of building systems
In the integrative process, what does a project team need to do before completing the schematic design & calculate the water demand?
Perform a prelim water budget analysis
After a prelim water budget analysis is performed, the team needs to look for strategies to reduce potable water consumption & assess the non potable water sources by evaluating the following:
- indoor water demand (fixtures & fittings)
- outdoor water demand (irrigation)
- process water demand (HVAC & washing machines)
- supply sources (gray water & rainwater)
The project teams should find at least one _____ water source on site & reduce the burden on the municipality supplied water, or wastewater treatment systems & should attribute to at least ___ of the water demand components.
Non potable;
2
At the end of the water budget analysis, the project team should document how the integrative process informed the design of the following:
- plumbing systems
- sewage conveyance/on site treatments
- rainwater quantity/quality management systems
- landscaping irrigation
- roofing systems/building form & geometry
What credit will enable the project team to earn points according to the % of potable water reduction they establish?
Indoor water use reduction
What does OPR stand for?
Owner’s project requirements
What does BOD stand for?
Basis of design
What is BOD (basis of design)?
Info necessary to accomplish the owner’s project requirements (system requirements, design criteria, standards, guidelines, etc) developed by the architect/engineer
