Calendar

Dec 3, 12:00pm - 2:30pm, Autodesk Canada (210 King Street East)

The Theory and Practice of the Integrated Design Process (IDP) is a crash course in defining integrated design and positioning attendees to be implementing IDP in their practice.  IDP has been alternately described as either the holy grail of green design, helping shave costs, increase building efficiency, and reduce conflict or as belaboured process where non-experts weigh in on topics beyond their understanding.  This lunch and learn session aims to define what is, and is not, integrated design.

Drawing on extensive practical experience facilitating integrated design in both the public and private sector, this lunch and learn will quickly move from defining IDP to discussing how it can be applied to create high performance green developments.

CE Hours
