Integrative Design Process (1 point)
Beginning in predesign and continuing throughout early occupancy, identify and apply opportunities to achieve synergies across disciplines and building systems through the following initiatives:
-
Integrated team : Assemble and convene an interdisciplinary project team with diverse perspectives. Ensure the process is an equitable team effort through organized facilitation.
-
Design charette : During predesign or early in design, conduct a charette with the owner or owner’s representative and participants representing at least four key perspectives (e.g., architect, contractor, energy modeler, and community engagement representatives).
-
LEED goal setting : Work as a team to define a set of specific and measurable project goals that address the LEED v5 impact areas of decarbonization, quality of life, and ecological conservation and restoration. Incorporate these goals into the owner’s project requirements.
