BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN GREEN BUILDING AND MAINSTREAM PRACTICE

CONTEXT MATTERS

INTEGRAL GROUP

CONTEXT| “Investing in thinking”

SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERING PHILOSOPHY

• Total cost the same -­‐ Mechanical cost less • Invest in Architecture -­‐ AcFve to passive • Move from fragile to robust • Longer life and lower life cycle costs • Move from complex to simple

SIX SIMPLE STEPS TO INTEGRATED BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE

“Order of opera*on – what to do and when to do it”

STEP 1| “Deciding how to decide”

1.1. Assemble Team 1.2. Define integrated energy process 1.3. Define roles & responsibilities 1.4. Benchmarking analysis 1.5. Financial parameters 1.6. Identify target metrics & $ incentives

STEP 2| “State the obvious”

2.1. ClimaFc Influences 2.2. Topography 2.3. Geology 2.4. Biology 2.5. Hydrology 2.6. Vernacular Architecture

STEP 3| “Focus on un-energy solutions”

3.1. Site & planning concepts 3.2. Massing & orientation 3.3. Renewable energy opportunities 3.4. Passive strategies plan, section, openings, shading 3.5. Program opportunities 3.6. Energy sources

STEP 4| “Turn analysis into design”

4.1. Building envelope 4.2. Primary MEP, structural systems 4.3. Secondary systems 4.4. Site & landscape 4.5. Energy for water 4.6. Identify target metrics

STEP 5| “Affordable clean energy”

5.1. Photovoltaic 5.2. Solar thermal 5.3. Geo-exchange 5.4. Biomass 5.5. Hybrid systems 5.6. Identify target metrics

STEP 6| “Buildings are for people”

6.1. Facility management 6.2. Operations 6.3. Occupancy behavior 6.4. Education & feedback opportunities 6.5. Measurement & verification protocol 6.6. Performance verification
