B)Begins the process of spatial refinement and usually involves the first design of a project's energy systems
C)Carries the design into the detail level for all spaces, systems, and materials so that construction can take place

In the Schematic Design phase, project teams explore several design options and alternatives, with the intent to establish an agreed-upon project layout and scope of work. Typically, the first phase in the design of the project is where the project teams prepares schematic diagrams for a general view of the components and the strategies of the project after detailed discussions with the owner. Green design needs to begin with the design process. Spending the time to decide on and incorporate green features from the ideation phase can substantially reduce construction time and costs.
