Sustainable building strategies should be considered early in the development cycle. An integrated project team will include the major project stakeholders such as the developer/owner, architect, engineer, landscape architect, contractor, and asset and property management staff. Implementing an integrated, systems-oriented approach to green project design, development, and operations can yield synergies and improve the overall performance of a building. An initial LEED assessment will bring the project team together to evaluate and articulate the project's goals and the level of certification sought. Project teams can utilize the resources listed below to identify suitable strategies to achieve desired certification goals.
