11. Integrative Process: References
Review the Integrative Process (IP) ANSI Consensus National Standard Guide© 2.0 for Design and Construction of Sustainable Buildings and Communities
The credit requirements address only the discovery phase, whose steps are similar to those described in the ANSI guide for engaging energy and water-related systems

Requirements
In pre-design phase, identify opportunities to achieve synergies across Energy & Water Related systems
Use the analysis to incorporate in OPR, BOD, design documents and construction documents.

13. Energy Related System Discovery
Collect information about the local climate, site conditions, energy sources, transportation options and potential building features.
Use U.S. EPA Target Finder tool to benchmark energy performance.
Perform a preliminary “simple box” energy modeling analysis before the completion of schematic design that explores how to reduce energy loads. Assess at least two potential strategies:
Site conditions.
Massing and orientation.
Building envelope attributes.
Lighting levels.
Thermal comfort ranges.
Plug and process loads.
Programmatic and operational parameters.

14. Water Related System Discovery
Collect information about waste treatment infrastructure, water sources, and potential building features
Assess expected water demand for indoor, outdoor, and process.
Gather data to quantify the project’s potential non-potable supply sources, e.g. captured rainwater, gray water or condensate water.
Perform a preliminary water budget analysis before the completion of schematic design that explores how to reduce potable water loads. Assess and estimate non-potable water supply sources and water demand volumes, including the following:
Indoor water demand
Outdoor water demand
Process water demand
Supply sources

Goal Setting workshop
Conduct a Goal setting workshop. Engage Owner & all principal team members. Goal setting workshop may include the following:
Introduce all project team members to the fundamentals of the integrative process. Share initial background research and analysis findings from energy and water research
Elicit the owner’s and stakeholders’ values and aspirations
Clarify functional and programmatic goals
Establish initial principles, benchmarks, metrics, and performance targets to identify targeted LEED credits
Generate potential integrative strategies for achieving performance targets
Identify initial responsibilities and deliverables
Initiate documentation of the OPR

16. Implementation / Documentation
Document how the energy and water related analysis informed design and building form decisions in the OPR and BOD
Provide narrative explanations of the energy evaluation in the energy analysis section of the Integrative Process worksheet (provided by USGBC) and identify at least two options for each of the seven aspects listed in Energy Analysis.
Provide narrative explanations of the water evaluation in the water analysis section of the Integrative Process worksheet. Demonstrate how at least one non-potable water supply source was used to offset at least two water demand components (indoor, outdoor, process).

18. © 2015 Green Building Academy. All rights reserved.
Intent
Maximize opportunities for integrated, cost-effective adoption of green design and construction strategies, emphasizing human health as a fundamental evaluative criterion for building design, construction and operational strategies.
Utilize innovative approaches and techniques for green design and construction.
© 2015 Green Building Academy. All rights reserved.

19. © 2015 Green Building Academy. All rights reserved.
Requirements
Use cross-discipline design and decision making, beginning in the programming and pre-design phase.
Develop a health mission statement and incorporate it in the OPR.
The health mission statement must address "triple bottom line". Include goals and strategies to safeguard the health of building occupants, the local community and the global environment, while creating a high-performance healing environment for the building’s patients, caregivers and staff.

20. © 2015 Green Building Academy. All rights reserved.
Requirements
Conduct a preliminary LEED meeting before schematic design with a minimum of four key project team members and the owner or owner’s representative.
Create a LEED® action plan that, at a minimum:
Determines the LEED certification level to pursue
Selects the LEED credits to meet the targeted certification level
Identifies the responsible parties to ensure the LEED requirements for each prerequisite and selected credit are met.

Requirements
Integrated Project Team
Assemble an integrated project team and include as many of the following professionals as feasible (minimum of four), in addition to the owner or owner’s representative.

Requirements
Design Charrette
As early as practical and preferably before schematic design, conduct a minimum four-hour, integrated design charrette with the project team as defined above.
The goal is to optimize the integration of green strategies across all aspects of building design, construction and operations, drawing on the expertise of all participants.
