    Study Notes

    Stakeholder Management

    • Stakeholder meetings can be challenging to schedule and may include stakeholders opposing new technologies or green strategies.
    • Project teams can address these concerns, leading to satisfied stakeholders at the project's completion.

    Integrative Project Teams

    • Integrative project teams work together and communicate throughout the building's design and construction.
    • Traditionally separate professions collaborate, evaluating how design decisions affect other site decisions.
    • Integrative processes lead to greater efficiencies, with cost savings estimated at 2-10% in construction.

    Pre-Design Phase

    • Setting clear goals during pre-design is crucial for successful project execution.
    • Goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
    • Energy-saving goals require both metrics and targets for effective measurement and evaluation.
    • Metrics measure energy use, while targets define specific energy-saving goals.
    • Prioritizing green building goals is essential due to budget and schedule constraints.
    • Critical project milestones guide progress and ensure adherence to timelines.
    • Project teams should include experts in green building practices to guide the process.

    Regulations and Codes

    • The International Code Council (ICC) develops codes used to construct buildings, including the International Green Construction Code (IgCC).
    • The IgCC provides model code language for energy conservation, water efficiency, and other sustainability considerations.
    • Projects in the U.S. must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility guidelines.
    • Cities may have additional green building laws requiring specific energy efficiency standards or LEED certifications.

    Cost Considerations

    • Traditional building processes focus on first costs, ignoring life-cycle costs.
    • Life-cycle cost analysis (LCC) evaluates the long-term operational and maintenance costs of a building.
    • Value engineering may prioritize cost reduction during construction, potentially neglecting long-term cost efficiency.

    Integrative Process vs. Traditional Project Delivery

    • Teams: Integrative process utilizes collaborative teams; traditional project delivery involves hierarchical structures with independent teams.
    • Process/Schedule: Integrative process is concurrent and iterative; traditional project delivery is linear with siloed work.
    • Risk: Integrative process promotes shared risk; traditional project delivery assigns individual responsibility.
    • Compensation: Integrative process rewards team success; traditional project delivery focuses on individual performance.
    • Communication: Integrative process leverages digital and virtual communication; traditional project delivery relies on paper-based communication.
    • Materials/Strategies: Integrative process emphasizes life-cycle analysis and costing; traditional project delivery prioritizes cost minimization to meet codes.
    • Project Phases: Integrative process includes a pre-design phase for setting green building goals; traditional project delivery focuses on design and occupancy phases.

    The Importance of Integrative Processes

    • The integrative process is vital for achieving sustainability goals established by project teams.
    • It considers all aspects of building design in a cohesive manner, from pre-design to the end of the building's lifecycle.
    • A fully integrative process requires a cohesive and collaborative project team.
