Integrative Process
LEED Charrette/Goal Setting Workshop
• LEED or Green Building Charrette is a type of workshop where the
project team members brain storm, collaborate and set project goals,
discuss strategies to sustainability goals.

7
Phases of Integrative Process

8
Discovery Phase
• Understand project requirements, Explore synergies between various
building components, address budget, schedule etc.
• Establish Project goals
• Example for project goals can be reducing energy consumption by 40%
from baseline or reducing water consumption by 50% from the baseline.
Tools like Energy Star Target finder, EPA Water budget tool etc can be
used to establish baseline.

9
Design & Construction Phase
• Incorporate all of the collective understandings of system interactions
that were found during discovery phase
• Take system approach/whole building approach and not individual
component approach.
• Example: Projects should asses orientation, envelope, window to wall
ratio, lighting levels, day light, thermal mass etc to achieve the energy
efficiency goal.
• Similarly for water efficiency, projects should asses the available rain
water, gray water, condensate water etc to meet the water demand of
the project efficiently

10
Operation and Performance Feed back
• Measure the performance of the project and set feed back mechanism
• Feedback is critical in determining the success in achieving performance
targets, informing building operations, and taking corrective action when
targets are missed.
• Example: Projects should continuously monitor energy and water
consumption and compared it against the established goals. Corrective
actions to be taken when the project deviates from established goals
