Integrative Process Flashcards
IP Credit Attriubutes
Points : 2
Site Selection & Energy Related Systems (1)
Water Related Systems (1)
No prerequisites
Group Approach : Yes
Campus Approach : No
Design Stage
Exemplary Performance : No
Innovative Process Three Phases
Discovery
Takes place before schematic design begins
Hold a workshop to discuss goals & findings
Design & Construction
Integrates all the work compiled during the discovery phase
Occupancy, operations & performance feedback
Assessing performance against the target
Project Goals
Workshops to establish goals
Determining owner’s budget/schedule/functional programmatic requirements/scope/quality/performance targets/expectations
LEED Project Scope
Identify the Project Scope
Determine any special circumstance available (amenities beyond the scope which support the occupants)
Map the LEED Project boundary
Determine special certification (Volume or Campus)
Start LEED Scorecard
Align goals with credits
Pick credits with highest value of the long term
Establish target certification level (Certified, Silver, Gold, Platinum)
Confirm pre-reqs are met
Include some buffer points
Discovery Phase
Continue to perform additional analysis and updates
Discuss overlapping benefits (using one system to benefit another)
Roles & Responsibilities
Team Member : Primary responsibility
Supporting Roles : Credit achievement and documentation
Establish workshops and communication channels to resolve issues quickly
Complete vs Incomplete Spaces
Complete : Ready for occupancy, no more than 40% incomplete
Definition of Developed vs Undeveloped
Previous developed : Altered by paving, construction or land use, park that has constructed features
Undeveloped : Preserved natural areas or not previously developed or altered, park that has been graded or cleared
Density
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) : Nonresidential floor area / Total Buildable Land
Dwelling Units per Acre (DU/acre) :
Dwelling Units per Hectare (DU/hectare) :
Ratio per acre or meter of buildable land
Does not include parking
Establish consistency
In Documentation
In numerical values throughout the project documentation
Buildable Land
Area where construction can occur, including land voluntarily not constructed on
Regular Building Occupants
Equation 1: Regular Hours
Full Time Employees = FTE + (Sum of part time employee hours/8)
EXAMPLE: 15 Full Time Employees + 20 Part Time Employees who work 4 hrs x day = 25 Full Time Employees
Equation 2: Irregular Hours
Full Time Employees = (Sum of all employee hours/8)
Regular Building Occupants include Residents & Students :
Known = 1 to 1
Unknown = No. of Bedrooms + 1 x No. of Units
Guests = 1.5 x No. of Units x 60% (or historical occupancy)
Visitors
Retail : not considered in water efficiency credits
Outpatients : for treatment under 23 hours or less
Peak outpatients : highest number in a typical 24-hr period
Volunteers : only periodically use a building
Higher-education Students : except when considered a resident
Daily Average : average in 24 hour day of operation
Peak Total : highest number in 24 hour period
Certification with Incomplete Spaces
Required to used amended occupancy counts if any area is incomplete
By Owner : Provide letter of commitment that works will align with all credits achieved
By Tenant : Submitted design and construction guidelines and project details
Baselines must be equivalent to that of the incomplete space
Anything beyond the baseline requires a binding sale or lease agreement
