Sustainable Building and Green Infrastructure

Best practices for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions caused by buildings and infrastructure demand progressive design and technologies. Sustainability solutions include renewable energy, energy efficient design features, low-carbon building materials, and programs and certifications such as LEED and Envision. Mitigating the potential hazards of climate change and catastrophic storm events means environments must incorporate flood-resilient building design, flood-proofing, flood mitigation and stormwater management through green infrastructure and low-impact development technologies.
