Collaboration-based design is an essential approach for sustainable building integration which leads to higher space efficiency, construction material conservation, energy consumption reduction, building appearance improvement and so on. The integration of sustainable building calls for unified control and coordination method to lead the building to be a more holistic process. This article's objective is about the cooperation process research between people in decision, design and feedback phase from related group and department participating in the building project. This paper is trying to set up a life-circle oriented framework for net-zero building (NZEB) from decision-making, building-designing to post-occupancy evaluation as a baseline and a demonstration for future building works. Taking the newly-built public building, Waterfowl Pavilion in Beijing Zoo, Beijing, China as an example, this article illustrates how to form the collaboration-based design framework and methodology for net-zero buildings. For the reason that the Waterfowl Pavilion is not only an exhibition building for public visiting, but also a residential house for birds to hatching, breeding, living and growing that the building performance requirements are more complex than ordinary building. The sustainable strategies which match to the low-energy and low carbon emission requirements are sorted in different targets to each team member. The purpose of this study is to set up the Decision-Design-Feedback Phase Process, which is an application reference. In any design stage, the decision makers and the designers could choose, judge and evaluate how design strategy factor would fit the user satisfaction and evaluation system in the future. It is a showcase to demonstrate better collaboration-based sustainable design and practice for building integration.
