INTEGRATIVE DESIGN: TRACKING OPERATIONAL AND EMBODIED CARBON

SPEAKERS: Anne Schopf, FAIA (Mahlum); Ale Menchaca, PhD. (Thornton Tomasetti)

We’ve come a long way in learning how to design high performance buildings with low operational carbon emissions. Our next challenge is to build buildings with the lowest embodied carbon possible. Sometimes aligned and sometimes at odds, this session will provide an overview of how to lead a high-performance integrative design process, establish high performance goals, track energy and sustainable design goals, and achieve a low emissions building by evaluating opportunities and tradeoffs for reducing operational and embodied carbon. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will assess challenge of what it means to get to net zero for both operational carbon and embodied carbon and how project leadership and management plays a key role in addressing the challenge.

Participants will analyze the integrative design process and how to successfully lead a design process for tracking metrics for high-performance projects.

Participants will assess various case studies and examine how integrative design is being used to reduce both operational and embodied carbon throughout the design process.

Participants will examine case studies and determine how to lead a successful integrative design process and the key project management strategies that helped maximize the performance.
