The Sustainable SITES Initiative provides an excellent professional framework for landscape architecture design. One implementation stumbling block, however, is getting clients on board. This session presents a “SITES in 10” slideshow for practitioners focusing on the return on investment from the client’s and end users’ perspectives.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the transformative focus of the SITES v2 framework through the integrative design process.
• Recognize the potential property and market value investment returns of resilient and sustainable site design.
• Become familiar with case studies demonstrating the importance of accountability and validated standards for SITES v2 certified projects.
