Abstract:

Method, apparatus, and program for high performance design of a project. A goal of the project to meet at least one sustainability criterion is first received. A design strategy is then associated with the goal of the project in accordance with the at least one sustainability criterion. The design strategy is created based on a common design approach. A design task is further associated with the design strategy at each phase of the project in accordance with the at least one sustainability criterion. The design task is created to implement the design strategy. A goal metric for the at least one sustainability criterion at each phase of the project is then dynamically calculated based on information of the project from a database. Eventually, progress of meeting the at least one sustainability criterion is dynamically updated based on the calculated goal metric.
