Intent
To support high-performance, cost-effective, and cross-functional project outcomes through an early analysis and planning of the interrelationships among systems. To provide a holistic framework for project teams to collaboratively address decarbonization, quality of life, and ecological conservation and restoration across the entire LEED rating system.
Requirements
Integrative Design Process (1 point)
Beginning in predesign and continuing throughout early occupancy, identify and apply opportunities to achieve synergies across disciplines and building systems through the following initiatives:
- Integrated team: Assemble and convene an interdisciplinary project team with diverse perspectives. Ensure the process is an equitable team effort through organized facilitation.
- Design charette: During predesign or early in design, conduct a charette with the owner or owner’s representative and participants representing at least four key perspectives (e.g., architect, contractor, energy modeler, and community engagement representatives).
- LEED goal setting: Work as a team to define a set of specific and measurable project goals that address the LEED v5 impact areas of decarbonization, quality of life, and ecological conservation and restoration. Incorporate these goals into the owner’s project requirements.
What does it cost?
Cost estimates for this credit
On each BD+C v4 credit, LEEDuser offers the wisdom of a team of architects, engineers, cost estimators, and LEED experts with hundreds of LEED projects between then. They analyzed the sustainable design strategies associated with each LEED credit, but also to assign actual costs to those strategies.
Our tab contains overall cost guidance, notes on what “soft costs” to expect, and a strategy-by-strategy breakdown of what to consider and what it might cost, in percentage premiums, actual costs, or both.
This information is also available in a full PDF download in The Cost of LEED v4 report.
