Putting the Owner Back in OPR
Using Owner’s Project Requirements as a Roadmap for Building Performance
An effective Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) document does more than support commissioning. It captures the owner’s vision and establishes measurable goals that can guide decision-making throughout design, construction, and operations.
In this webinar, Interface Engineering Principal Michael Flemming, PE, LEED AP, BD+C, CxA, CEM will explore how the OPR can serve as a project roadmap, helping teams align around performance objectives, sustainability targets, operational needs, and long-term building success. Attendees will gain practical strategies for developing meaningful OPRs, engaging stakeholders in the process, tracking project goals through delivery, and creating buildings that better support owners and occupants over time.
Learning outcomes include:
- Developing clear and measurable owner performance goals.
- Using the OPR to guide design and construction decisions.
- Improving stakeholder engagement during project planning.
- Creating OPRs that remain valuable throughout a building’s lifecycle.
