GREEN BUILDING

USGBC’s green building standards show projects what they need to be thinking about if they want to understand how design contributes to consumption and where or how to disrupt these patterns.

 
 

LOCATION + TRANSPORTATION

Projects pursuing LEED certification with USGBC can use the presentations below to guide them if pursuing points within the location and transportation category. Points are distributed between 3 subcategories: compact and connected development, transportation demand management, and electric vehicles.

SUBCATEGORIES

  • The compact and connected sub-category focuses on density and access. Projects have an opportunity to earn up to 8 points. Click here to learn how.

  • USGBC requires projects to estimate their users annual carbon emissions. This information will provide a baseline that projects can then use to measure change over time. Click here to learn how.
