Integrated design process Key elements of integrated design Building process design process Multi-disciplinary collaboration between architects, engineers, contractors, cost specialists, facility managers right from the beginning of the design process Discussion of the various important performance issues and the establishment of a consensus on this matter between client and designers Budget restrictions applied at the whole building level, with no strict separation of budgets for individual building systems. Effort Traditional The addition of subject specialists involved (e.g. energy simulation, daylighting, comfort, acoustics) Schematic Detailed Constructions Documents Constructions Testing of various design assumptions through the use of performance analysis throughout the whole process to provide relatively objective information on this key aspect of performance Time Clear articulation of performance targets and strategies, to be updated throughout the process by the design team

Next Steps Raising awareness about the strengths and weaknesses of the current situation with respect to Interoperability. Continue to improve the Interoperability and start to look at the round-trip whereby we take information back into the BIM package from the analysis package. Automation of parts of the process automatic updating and re-calculation when something changes.
