Green Models for Site Development: Applying the National Green Building Standard™ to Land and Lots, Just Released!

This handy field guide will help you capitalize on existing desirable land features when planning and designing projects under the National Green Building Standard™. Through five comprehensive case studies you'll see how other builders and developers earned the highest green ratings and home buyer approval by preserving on-site natural beauty, limiting the development footprint, and reducing outdoor maintenance. Whether you are building on an urban infill lot, developing a rural site, or reclaiming a suburban greyfield, this book will help you construct communities that reflect a green lifestyle.

Learn how to:

  • Design properties to ensure they are at least as green as the homes that will be built on them
  • Achieve maximum points for each lot/land development practice required by the NGBS
  • Reduce traffic, noise, and heat islands
  • Decrease pollution and recycle land development waste
  • Limit clearing and grading
  • Create landscaping that conserves water
  • Protect and preserve trees as a desirable amenity
  • Apply green development techniques to a storm water management strategy
  • Minimize environmental disruption from utility lines
