Pilot-Credits EQpc123:Designing with Nature, Biophilic Design for the Indoor Environment

Biophilic design plan

I understand that the final result must be that the project implements five distinct design strategies. What is more difficult to grasp is how the "Design with nature documentation template" seems to focus more on the process of exploring and the hurdles of implementation (critical timing issues associated with each strategy). There is even new information that is not part of the credit language (mention of project phase, stakeholders, timing issues). While I know the template is not mandatory, it really did confuse me as to what was actually required to be documented. I ended up modifying it quite a bit to reflect more the credit language and shifting the narrative so that the design strategies are more at the forefront. 


My question is, am I the only one that felt this way, or am I missing pieces of information ?

I used a narrative desribing ( including photos) how we implemented the 5 stratgies as well at the chart.   I suspected the challenges/timing portion may be evaulation as to wheter it is feasible ot move to a fully integrated credit?

You need to provide 5 strategies with a narrative for each. I added some photos and drawings to explain where the different strategies were located.

We pursued this pilot credit in a commercial interiors project. The documentation included a narrative explaining the five biophilic strategies adopted and renderings/photos showing how and where they were incorporated in the project. It was sufficient to demonstrate credit compliance.
