Energy efficiency goals and training requirements are required to be present in the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) when applying the Integrative Process to a Building Design and Construction project.According to theLEED V5BD+C ReferenceGuide, the OPR is a document that details the ideas, concepts, and criteria that are determined by the owner to be important to the success of the project1.The OPR must include, among other things, the following information related to energy efficiency1:
The owner’s energy performance goals and expectations
The owner’s requirements for energy metering and monitoring
The owner’s requirements for energy modeling and analysis
The owner’s requirements for commissioning and verification
The owner’s requirements for training and documentation
The other options are not required to be present in the OPR, as they are either related to other aspects of the project, such as codes and standards, interior finishes, or project team members, or they are not relevant to the Integrative Process, which focuses on early analysis of energy, water, and site systems2.
