Drawing From The Integrated Green Facility For O&M

The integrative design process understands that buildings, their components, and their context are interrelated. Whole-building systems observe this principle by involving all stakeholders from project conception through delivery and beyond. Including all stakeholders allows for the identification of synergies that otherwise would go unnoticed, and as a result, reduces the initial and operating costs, along with optimizing design for appearance, visual comfort, and energy efficiency. A lighting specific integrative team could involve the lighting engineer, architect, interior designer, facilities manager, workplace specialist, and occupant as representatives of the broader whole-building picture.
