2) Types of advantages discovered when initial investment are made in more durable
products and efficient bldg systems
During Construction Phases, Predesign is: - ANS-gathering information, recognizing
stakeholder needs, establishing project goals, & selecting site
During Construction Phases, Design is: - ANS-Schematic Design, Design Development,
and Construction Documents
Explain Schematic Design: - ANS-SD explores design options & alternatives with the
intent to establish an agreed-upon project layout & scope of work.
, Explain Design Development: - ANS-DD begins the process of spatial refinement &
usually involves the 1st design of a project's energy system.
Explain Construction Documents: - ANS-CD carry the design into the detail level so that
construction can take place.
Construction Phases Bidding is: - ANS-when costs are established and contracts for
construction services are signed.
During Construction Phases, Construction Administration is - ANS-the actual
construction, Commissioning take place near the end of construction, once the system
have been installed and are operable. Includes Substantial Completion, Final
Completion, Certificate of Occupancy, & Occupancy
List out the major Construction Phases: - ANS-Predesign, Design, Bid, Construction,
and Occupancy
Substantial completion is: - ANS-a contractual benchmark that usually corresponds to
the point at which a client could occupy a nearly completed space.
Certificate of occupancy is: - ANS-the official recognition by a local bldg department that
bldg conforms to applicable bldg & safety codes.
What should take place during Occupancy: - ANS-Periodic maintenance must occur.
Recommissioning along with occupant surveying (via post-occupancy evaluation) at
regular interval.
Major Players in Design & Construction Process are: - ANS-Project owner, Architect,
Engineers, Commissioning authority, General Contractor, Facilities staff, Building users.
Concept of integrative design emphasizes: - ANS-Connections & Communication btw
professionals & throughout the life of a project

process? - ANS-70%
What are the added costs of bldg green & what benefits offset those cost? - ANS-The
average marginal cost is less than 2%. In addition. it reduces use, consumption, cost, &
liability.
