GREEN BUILDING
DEFINING GREEN BUILDING:
(1) Designed, constructed, and operated to boost environmental, economic, health and productivity performance
(U.S. Green Building Council 2003)
(2) The careful design, construction, operation, and reuse or removal of the built environment => energy-efficient, sustainable, high performance
(McGraw-Hill Construction 2006, Green building smart market report)
(3) (i) increasing the efficiency
(ii) reducing impacts on human health and the environment
(Cassidy 2003, White Paper on Sustainability)
GREEN BUILDING Strategies:
COST & PROFITABILITY:
A survey by McGraw Hill Construction
• 54% of Respondents
( To reduce energy cost)
• 24% of Respondents
( value to environment)
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION:
National Charrette Institute (NCI 2007)
• A collaborative planning process
9 Core Strategies:• Working collaboratively
• Designing cross functionally
• Design to achieve vision &
solutions
• Study the details and big picture
• Operating under constrained
schedule
• Communicating in short feed
back loops
• Including a multiday charrette
• Working on-site
• Producing a feasible plan
PHASE 1:
Feasibility Project need Assessment
Project manager Selection
Preliminary site analysis and plan
Design charrette
Final site selection
PHASE 2:
Design Initial budget and schedule
Zoning approval
Design team Selection
Construction Document development
Government permitting Review
Project bidding
Green PM Approach to Construction Vs Conventional construction
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION:
BEGINNING WITH THE END IN MIND:
INTEGRATING THE PROJECT TEAM:
DESIGNING WITH THE WHOLE TEAM APPROACH:
USING BONUSES & REWARDS IN PROJECT CONTRACTING:
Greening project management practices can
significantly improve the ability of a sustainable
construction project to be delivered within
acceptable cost constraints.
