Right Start, Right Result: Beginning with the Site
Site sustainability addresses the environmental impacts involved in the process of site design, development and post-development activities.
Buildings and associated development often disrupts natural ecosystems and increases the negative effects of erosion, storm water runoff and summer heat sinks. The location of a building site can impact greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants based on available options for alternative modes of transportation including pedestrian proximity to basic services and residential communities.
Martha Van Geem, Principal Engineer and head of Building Science & Sustainability at CTLGroup, co-authored this article in the June 2010 ASHRAE Journal supplement, ASHRAE Journal’s Guide to Standard 189.1, with Anthony Floyd and Tom Lawrence.
