47. USE INTEGRATIVE DESIGN “Integrated design can reduce construction cost while providing significant sustainable design benefits. On the CSU Monterey Bay Library, by comparing a number of integrated structural, mechanical, and architectural schemes, we found that tradeoffs from one discipline more than offset added costs in another, while achieving energy savings of almost 40%.” ~ Scott Shell, EHDD Architects Courtesy of Duncan Prahl, IBACOS

49. Keys to integrative design Commit to the integrative design process Hold a charrette Have regular meetings Establish communication protocols Identify scope of responsibilities and interactions for all parties
58. Your energy consultant Choosing a good one Experience matters (relevantexperience) Mindset matters (maybe even more!) Collaborating A member of the design team Your mechanical engineer, possibly? Needs to understand all the design opportunities
59. When and why should you do energy modeling? Before the charrette During the charrette To test design options To qualify for tax credits & other incentives To comply with green building programs To capture the performance as accurately as possible! EARLY & OFTEN!
