How to create more value?
When you assemble the right Team, utilize Lean Project Delivery (LPD) Systems and engage in a highly COLLABORATE and disciplined work you can deliver exceptional WOW projects. Projects with cost and schedule predictability, reduced risk, that are more technically challenging and demonstrate leadership in the high performance building industry.It is worth the effort as much higher levels of performance are achievable.
What is achievable in New Construction?
Based upon experience working on ten LPD projects, capital cost saving of at least 15% are achievable and projects can be completed four months early. The following projects were delivered using the LPD system.- U of W Richardson College for the Environment (LEED Gold 60% Less Energy)
- Okanagan College (Living Building Challenge\Net Zero)
- Mosaic Center (Living Building Challenge\Net Zero)
How do we Improve the Performance of Existing Buildings?
Retro-commissioning, energy management and building renewals are strategies that can drastically improve performance while providing an excellent return on investment.- Innovation Place Research Park: Energy Management, Retro-commissioning and High Performance Building programs resulted in 20% energy reductions. ($500,000/year)
- Retro-commissioning involves tuning the operation of existing systems. This relatively inexpensive service can reduce energy costs by as much as 20% while improving comfort and providing an excellent return on investment. Payback are often less than 2 yrs.
- Innovative energy management projects, like planting trees for solar shading at the City of Saskatoon Electrical Operations facility helped avoid changing out an existing cooling system
What services and how do they add Value?
Integrated Designs is an early adopter of industry practices that optimize cost, performance and productivity.Design- Design Facilitation: Our focus is to achieve simple systems that provide total life cycle cost performance
- Mechanical: High performance HVAC and control systems that are cost effective
- Electrical: Designs that reduce loads, measure performance and enable smart operations
- Energy Projects/Audits: Why not turn your energy savings into a great return on investment
- Retro-Commissioning: Great investment with paybacks often less than 2 years
- Building Renewal: Why not renew building systems with a lease financed by saving?
- Commissioning: Performance testing to improve performance and project coordination
- LEED/Building Certification: Validating that the building investment is sustainable
- Energy Simulations: Evaluating integrated design options and energy savings
Lean Project Delivery
- Lean Coaching: Ensures projects are delivered with structure and discipline
- Target Value Design: Ensure project requirments are delivered to cost
- Online Training: Learn how Lean creates an unfair competitive advantage
