Section 1: Project Management (100 Points)

The Project Management assessment area is unique to Green Globes and addresses three major topics: (1) the integrated design process (IDP), (2) environmental management during construction, and (3) commissioning. Integrated design is one of the most important ingredients of green or sustainable design, and it is emphasized in virtually all of the most recent versions of green building rating systems, including LEED v4.1. Environmental management during construction is the province of the construction manager or general contractor and is directed at minimizing the project's impacts on the environment due to construction activities. The scope of building commissioning has been greatly expanded from consideration of just building service (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, building automation, building transport systems, communications systems) to other systems, such as the building envelope, structural components, and noise isolation.
