Building Energy / Spring 2017 / Jonathan A. Wright
“Fundamentally, the vetting process is a continuous, three-way collaboration between architect, construction manager and materials consultant. Early on, I asked Charley Stevenson of Integrated Eco Strategy, who would actually be accountable for securing materials documentation, and he said we
would collaborate. Hmmm. Who, and how, exactly? The process evolved through months of weekly calls, hot lists and dead ends. Together with Kern Center architects Bruner/Cott and the Hitchcock Center’s DesignLab, we all lent significant effort and creativity to the process. Charley was so right – everyone has to get under the weight of it to avoid wasting time and resources.”
