We are working on mapping our overall sustainable process - so far completing a resource that speaks to how Passive House Certification (via Phius) amends the design deliverable process. I'm happy to share and second the working group idea!

I second Sarah's comment - I was thinking this is starting to sound like a small working group that should get together to do a show and tell. Happy to put my name in the hat as ringleader to try and get us scheduled to catch up. We're in the same boat of updating that kind of sustainability overlay for our QA/QC process. Aley

Not sure how many people you define as small. If you'd take another volunteer, I'd gladly join the group. We have a general sustainability overlay for our QA/QC processes, but are working on getting it more fully implemented and developing it to a detail level that helps our teams really integrate it into the flow of the project.

Love this thread! Thanks for starting Heather!! We have several documents that we piece together along the way, such as Owner's Project Requirements, Basis of Design, Integrative Process Worksheet, Site Assessment Worksheet, and even the LEED scorecard in some instances. We also have a 'Designers Guide to Incorporating Sustainable Strategies" that is in progress. I would be very interested to be a part of working group on this topic. Thanks again Heather!!

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts and brainstorm together.

We have recently updated the (many!) goals of our sustainability action plan. To go along with the implementation, we have created a number of management and education tools and processes. So far it seems to be working better than anything in the past. I’d be excited to join the working group to share and to learn from others successes.

Hey everyone, If you want to take the leap and make this a project long timeline I'd be interested in bringing the contractor perspective to the conversation. Reaching your project goals within the confines of estimating, scheduling, and logistics is a really interesting subject. We have our own project goals the the SCL group has a rating platform for contractor sustainabiltiy (The Contractors Commitment) that is a great outline for how we can merge design/client goals with construction goals for more wholistic designs.

We have had a process checklist in place for a few years, including client research in the marketing phase through checking EPDs in the CA phase. Required client sustainability workshop, early energy modeling, embodied carbon modeling, and materials + health training (twice), and much more. It’s intentionally one page (but small font) at the request of the project managers. We are updating our SAP this fall, which is one reason why we’ve spent 18 months on the Path To Zero Cabron series so we understand what we should focus on toward zero carbon. https://lmnarchitects.com/lmn-research/path-to-zero-carbon-series Sorry for the additional spam; LMN would love to be involved. -Kjell Fro
