THE DANISH BUILDING PROJECT FRAMEWORK
Step 5 Discuss project ambitions, challenge the initial Client
Presumptions and utilise (partnering) contracts.
Select multi-disciplinary design team, and motivate for close cooperation and openness, potentially including an ID facilitator. Analyse boundary conditions and create the project ambitions as ‘functional goals’ i.e. measuarable.
Create a quality control plan to measure success of de-sign proposals. The dede-sign should be evaluated and the achievements at critical points.
Ensure project goals by proper defi nition and communica-tion in tender and contracts. Motivate and educate con-struction workers about crucial concon-struction operations, and apply quality tests to ensure perform ingas designed.
Create a user manual for operation and maintenance of the building.
Facilitate commissioning and moniter energy consump-tion and user satisfacconsump-tion over time.
The IDP guide is divided into phases with actions; Although the process guidelines need to be adaptable to diff erent situations, there are some common structural features that can be identifi ed
The initial- and closing design phases regards information- gathering and sharing, and are hence linear processes.
The design- and quality control phases are closely interlinked, as the design constantly is monitored acc. goals.
Have a kick-off workshop at early design stages and an initial design workshop when designing begins. Co-locate design team. Have alternative building concepts and keep decisions open long enough that all relevant issues are considered. The client chooses which option to continue developing.

Motivation
To gain better environmental architecture through integrated design by breaking with the traditional boxes of architects and engineers.
Short description
The IDP guide focus on integration of knowledge from engineering and architecture and how they interact with each other in order to solve the often very complicated problems connected to the design of sustainable build-ings. The IDP guide does not ensure aesthetic or sustainable solutions, but it enables the designer to control the many parameters that must be considered and integrated in the project when creating more holistic sustainable architecture in order to achieve better sustainable solutions, because all the diff erent parameters are considered during the process (Brunsgaard 2009)
Key persons in the process
The design process is led by a group, where it is possible to have a lot of ideas in the air at the same time and it is possible to have a good and eff ective workfl ow. It results in holistic projects where the work fi eld is well searched.
Goal
To be able to design good environmental buildings with high quality in architectural performances as well as in sustainability

Presentation Synthesis Description of the project’s idea to an environmental or
sustainable building.
Analyse site, environmental factors, and the client’s wishes. Architectural demands are made in a diagram of functions, which can give inspiration to the design of the building. It is summarised in a programme which both describes technical and architectural design parameters.
Test the architectural idea in relation to the technical ideas. Evaluate diff erent proposals continuously and further develop according to the programme and design parameters.
Present the project with all qualities shown and how the aims, design criteria and target values of the project have been fulfi lled for the new building owner.
Find fi nal building shape through sketches and more calculations and adjustments. Here architectural space and functional qualities, the construction and demands for energy consumption as well as indoor environment fl ow together. In the end the design parameters have been met.
The IDP guide is divided into phases with described main actors and actions.
The phases with information- gathering and sharing are linear, the rest are iterative. The results of each phase can lead to decisions made in previous phases to be changed, and the design can keep evolving as there are no clear sequence
of milestones; everything can be changed.

Motivation
To bring rationality into building design processes again, as arbitrary design decisions today infl uence the building performance
Short description
The method is to defi ne and design rooms before the building, hence solving all problems on a small scale before building form giving. The idea is to have a certain space of solutions, which fulfi ls the performance goals, and outline boundary conditions within which the design process can take place.
Key persons
Each phase has a main responsible person, who handles key decisions. In the early phases, this is the design facilitator, and when the space of solutions is fi nished, an architect will handles key decisions. The main respon-sible person always has access to a Building Design Team consisting of “architects, engineers and other relevant experts”, by which knowledge about certain issues can be acquired.
Goal
To develop a on consequence-conscious design process
