Site Design & Planning

In this module you will learn the Important and often overlooked benefits of good site design – during construction and in ongoing building operations are:

• Preservation of site resources and Conservation of energy and materials

Sustainable site planning identifies ecological, infrastructural, and cultural characteristics of the site to assist designers in their efforts to integrate the building and the site. The intent is to encourage optimum use of natural and existing features in architectural and site design, thus reducing building energy use and minimizing environmental degradation.
