内容简介：
Most technical building professionals are focused on technological innovations to improve building performance. While this is indeed an important and necessary condition for innovative outcomes, this is not sufficient. It is argued that a serious consideration of processes and relationships in a project, especially at the earliest phases of planning and design, and the right decisions at critical stages of the project maximise beneficial outcomes for all stakeholders. An Australian study of ‘excellent projects’ confirm this. This presentation details the key issues and decisions on the critical early phases of the project ? including procurement strategies, planning and facilitating charrettes, setting project goals and performance requirements, developing holistic design concepts and team working processes. Process innovations continue through the operations and management phase of the building, when it is most important that owners, facility managers and tenants (or building users) understand and support the concept of high-performing buildings and act accordingly. In addition to resource use savings, improved workplace productivity will provide substantial benefits to all stakeholders.
