This paper proposes a definition of integrated design in order to improve use and understanding of the term and the concept throughout the construction industry. In particular, the paper considers the topic from an energy efficiency perspective as this plays a central role in design. The definition is supported by a discussion on the design process, and developing a design strategy. This is based on work carried out in editing the CIBSE Guide: Energy efficiency in buildings that will be published in the future.
