SITES V2 Reference Guide by Sustainable Sites Initiative Book PDF Summary
The Sustainable Sites Initiative? (SITES?) is a program dedicated to fostering resiliency and transforming land development and management practices towards regenerative design. The SITES v2 Rating System is a voluntary set of guidelines and performance benchmarks for assessing sustainable site design, construction, and maintenance. The central message of the SITES program is that any project?whether the site of a university campus, large subdivision, shopping mall, park, commercial center, or even a home?holds the potential to protect, improve, and regenerate the natural benefits and services provided by healthy ecosystems. The SITES program is a collaborative effort led by the United States Botanic Garden, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at The University of Texas at Austin, and the American Society of Landscape Architects.
