Name two ways in which the scope of work and qualifications of an architect differ from that of an interior designer - answer-1) licensing process - NCIDQ for interior designers, ARE for architects 2) architects work with structural elements, interior designers with non-load-bearing partitions BIM and LEED both rely on an integrated team approach to building design. Name two benefits of this approach as it relates to BIM and/or LEED - answer-BIM - interference between systems can be discovered long before a building is under construction (reduces errors because information is in one 3D model) early coordination between multiple team players saves money on changes in the field, allows project to be designed on a budget design from multiple perspectives and documentation by various team members necessary because LEED is a holistic approach to making the building process and project more sustainable Name the six phases of the traditional building design process (in order) as they are described in your textbook. - answer-programming schematic design design development construction documents bidding construction administration Name two types of systems that fall under the larger umbrella of "building systems". - answer-structural mechanical electrical enclosure systems Name two of the categories under which points can be earned for the LEED Green Building Rating System. - answer-Integrative Process Location and Transportation Water Efficiency Energy and Atmosphere Materials and Resources Indoor Environmental Quality Innovation and Design Regional Priority Label the following terms on the left with the appropriate category or categories on the right: The Natural Step Green Guidelines for Healthcare (GGHC) Cradle to Cradle Living Building Challenge A.
