IDP

On 15 April N. Larsson of iiSBE made a 90 minute virtual presentation to 40+ staff and members and consultants acting as project managers and design facilitators for projects being constructed by Société québécoise des infrastructures (SQI), an agency of the province of Québec.

The presentation focused on the essential features of the Integrated Design Process (IDP), a method that focuses on changing the building design process with the goal of substantially improving the energy and environmental performance of buildings.

On 1st October, N. Larsson made a 1 1/2 hour presentation on the integrated design process (IDP) to 53+ architecture students at the Masters level taking part remotely from Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Turkey and Korea. The event was organized by the Beuth University of Applied Sciences, located in Berlin. The presentation covered the origin and nature of the process, which is designed to help design teams avoid bad decisions and to reach high levels of environmental performance.

On 12 and 13 March a meeting was held in Ankara, Turkey to launch a project to adapt the principle of integrated design process (known as Integrated Building Design Approach, or IBDA in Turkey) for the Turkish building industry. The project is financed by UNDP Turkey and the Turkish Ministry of Energy and is expected to result in the production of two main reports by the end of the summer: an Adaptation report, on how to apply the principles for Turkish conditions, and a Guideline document, to support the work of design teams in applying the method.
