• The process of understanding how things influence one another within a whole o In nature, various elements must work together in ecosystems o In buildings, all the components that make up the building
must work together
• Solve ‘problems’ by viewing them as parts of an overall system, rather than reacting to specific parts, outcomes or events o Piecemeal approach potentially creates unintended
consequences. An improvement in one area of a system can adversely affect another.
o Small catalytic events can cause large changes in complex systems
• Focus on cyclical rather than linear cause and effect
• IDP is the most effective process for exploring and implementing sustainable design principles on a project while staying within budget and program schedule constraints.
• The process is essential to achieving high performance (sustainable) buildings while avoiding or minimizing incremental costs
• Requires a multi-disciplinary and collaborative team
• Follows the design through the entire project life, from pre-design through occupancy and into operation
• Can be used for both new and existing buildings. Don’t replicate the old mistakes.
• Lack of value in meetings or activities • Overlap or gaps in responsibilities • Silos: decision making happens without collaboration • Lack of a clear roadmap with milestones and
methods for analysis of results • Lack of a focus on specific analysis, feedback loops,
and co-solving problems

Current DIS-integrative, dysfunctional process (2)
Importance of Integrative Design Process • Early feedback from engineers informs the design process • Building performance metrics set clear indicators for
evaluating competing design solutions • Load reduction measures can be exploited in sizing and
selection of equipment (offsetting cost of premium elements
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” Lord Kelvin1883
… what he actually said was…..
“I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind….”
“In God we trust …..all others bring data!” Lee Eng Lock
Or to put it more succinctly: “Knowledge is power” Sir Francis Bacon 1597
“Norman Foster’s City Hall, which is billed as an exemplary sustainable building, uses 50% more energy than it was designed to do.” BREEAM “Excellent” Why? What’s gone wrong? Where is the discrepancy?
