WE14 Quality Control in High Performance Building Projects HSW
05/14/2008, 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM


Learning Units: 3.75-Advanced level

Training Units: 0.9375-Training Area 10 (Document Checking and Coordination)

Traditional quality control (QC), founded in adversarial delivery paradigms, is inadequate in the new delivery paradigm that high performance building projects require. Besides changes in the application of QC approaches, quality planning becomes critically important and cannot be divorced from active, ongoing values alignment between all parties to the project team. The workshop focuses on specific actions that design professionals can take to ensure that "our place on the land" high performance building goals are achieved in the built results.

Learning Objectives:
  • Reinterpret and adapt your existing QC systems to better suit the new delivery paradigms required of high performance building projects
  • Determine how to create new QC approaches and tools appropriate to ensuring that high performance building projects meet client expectations
  • Monitor design processes against agreed quality output standards
Speakers: Dennis M. King, FAIA, and Charles Nelson, AIA
