The 2030 Challenge®: Energy Goals and Integrated Design

Integrated design is an important element in the creation of next-generation 2030 Challenge compliant buildings. In this session, we will explore the Integrated Design Process (IDP) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). We will explore collaborative strategies that can achieve the targets outlined in the 2030 Challenge, and how this process can be used as a roadmap throughout the design process. In particular, we will examine the utility of IDP in defining core, early design decisions such as building form and orientation.

AIA+2030 Learning Objectives
• Explain how the Integrated Design Process differs from traditional design.
• Identify specific characteristics of Integrated Design and its implications building energy performance.
• Summarize the potential benefits gained by employing the Integrated Design Process.
