Building Smart using an Integrated Design Process

Learn how an Integrated Design Process (IDP) can ensure greater project success. IDP is a collaborative design approach that is intended to optimize performance, cost, occupant comfort and resilience of a residential building.  It involves engaging the builder and their team of designers, mechanical contractor and energy advisor at the conceptual design stage. IDP examines the needs and performance of a building throughout its life cycle; from design, construction through to operation, with the goal of ensuring that multiple objectives of the builder are met.

The webinar will:

• Explore the structure of IDP

• Discuss applications to various building types

• Demonstrate case studies from across B.C.

• Share experiences with IDP from outside B.C.

• Learn about the unique steps, timelines, costs and benefits that make this approach preferable to a conventional process.
