Sustainable Design - Integrated Building Design
& Building Envelope Energy Saving Opportunities
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Integrated building design is a process of design
in which multiple disciplines and seemingly unrelated aspects of design are
integrated in a manner that permits synergistic benefits to be realized. The
goal is to achieve high performance and multiple benefits at a lower cost than
the total for all the components combined. This process often includes
integrating green design strategies into conventional design criteria for
building form, function, performance, and cost.
In this course the student will learn a wide
variety of sustainable concepts and practical ideas from design to facility
operation that will help with the integration of the various systems within the
building. In this course the student will learn that a key to successful
integrated building design is the participation of people from different
specialties of design: general architecture, HVAC, lighting and electrical,
interior design, and landscape design. Although the reference text discusses
Federal Facilities, the principles apply to all building types.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained
in the Greening of Federal Facilities – Second Edition, May 2001 (Part IV –
Building Design).
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at
the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
