Integrate esign conclusion

okay anything else that we want to take out of what we learn this morning absolutely we need to build a building that's incredibly efficient well to do that your systems have to be really integrated what's great about the project is its building on this notion of natural systems in many ways what we're doing in integrative design is we're utilizing nature as our mentor and our model for how systems interact the key to design in a high-performance green building is to use the facilitated integrative design approach which means you want to engage everyone on everything from day one FIPS truly is a pioneer because it is trying to go way beyond merely a green building right now green building is about doing less damage and what we really are trying to do is contribute to the health of the place rather than just to us damage I remember attending a living building conference in Seattle in April of 2007 and I attended this session on integrative design and I was immediately convinced that this is the only way that one could truly design a high-performance green building now luckily we were just about to send out on a request for proposals for design services for our new living building so when I got back to Pittsburgh one of the first things I did was change our RFP so that we would require that older members of the design team follow an integrative design approach in order to participate and it has been an exciting process a conventional design process was generally linear which means that the architect meets with the owner and creates a series of iterative sketches then sends those drawings off to the mechanical engineer and the electrical engineer in the civil engineer and the landscape architect and the structural engineer all of whom possess tremendous skill and acumen at designing their systems but essentially in isolation within the silo of their discipline integrative design looks at the whole first to understand the whole we need to understand the pieces so what we're looking at is a process whereby all of those individuals are meeting before anybody designs anything the word Charette has come to mean something very real in the architectural community as a way of getting lots of expertise in the room and actually coming to a level of solution integrated design goes beyond that first Charette it suggests that by giving everyone your first ideas and talking about it you can say well that decision influences my work in this way and so if you change your work just a little bit it makes a big change in the resource use in my sector and that could involve aesthetic principles it can involve mechanical needs it can involve budget it's not possible to build something that is cutting-edge and certainly is something that is trying to set a standard for the future like the center for sustainable landscapes is in terms...
