Integrative Process

Question 1

Integrative Process Delivery (IPD) Description

Answer 1

a process that involves all project participants in the design and construction processes as early as possible via collaboration.

Available under LEED V4 as a single credit.

Pre-requisite for LEED health-care project.

Question 2

IPD Benefits

Answer 2

Reduced timeline
Cost control
Better communication and sequencing

Question 3

IPD Credit Purpose/Intent

Answer 3

To encourage and reward opportunities for teamwork in the construction planning and design process.

Question 4

IPD Credit Method of Achievement

Answer 4

Coordinating early and often to encourage cost effective adoption of green design and construction practices that follow Owner Project Requirements (OPR) and leverage synergies among LEED credits

Question 5

What do synergies exist within?

Answer 5

Significant synergies exist within Energy and Atmosphere, Water Efficiency, and Sustainable Sites.

Question 6

Green roof related credit concepts

Answer 6

Credit compliance path for Heat Island Reduction within SS credits and credit compliance with earning Rainwater Management credit and in EA for optimizing energy performance due to roof insulation qualities.

Question 7

Owner Project Requirement Documents

Answer 7

Written document used in all LEED projects that outlines specific criteria and concepts that are determined by building owner to drive success of LEED project

Question 8

When do you identify and apply opportunities to achieve synergies?

Answer 8

In predesign and design phases of project.

Question 9

What do you inform with the analysis of synergies?

Answer 9

OPR, BOD, and Construction documents

Question 10

What do you analyze for synergies

Answer 10

Energy and Water related systems.

Question 11

What do you do to analyze Energy Related Systems

Answer 11

Perform a preliminary energy modeling analysis that explores how to reduce energy loads in the building?

Question 12

What do you do to analyze Water Related Systems

Answer 12

Perform a preliminary water budget that explores how to reduce potable water loads (indoor, outdoor, process water, and supply sources) in the building.

Question 13

When do you need to complete analysis of Energy and Water related systems?

Answer 13

Before the completion of the schematic designs and document how analysis affects the OPR and BOD.

Question 14

Integrated Project Team

Answer 14

Minimum of (4) professional in addition to the owner or owner’s representative. I.E. architect, building designer, ME, Energy Modeler, commissioning agent, community representative, general contractor, green building consultant, lighting designer, facility managers.

Question 15

Design Charrette

Answer 15

A (4) hour meeting with the project team held as early as possible before schematic design.

Question 16

Desing Charrette for Healthcare Porojects

Answer 16

Same as typical Design Charrette that includes a Health Mission Statement that is incorporated into the OPR to emphasize human health as a fundamental evaluative criterion for building design, construction and operation strategies.
