Introduction to Sustainable SITES Version 2 with Case Study

This overview of the Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES) informs participants of the critical need for a more careful and sensitive approach to land design and development in regards to the growing population of the planet. It will make clear how SITES version 2, which is operated and administered by GBCI, is a tool to drive sustainability for project teams, governments, businesses, and other stakeholders. SITES goals are identified and explained, the SITES version 2 rating system is detailed, and the first certified pilot projects are detailed.

This course will have an additional component where the concepts will be applied to a real project.
