SITES (Sustainability Information Tool for Evaluating Sites)

SITES (Sustainability Information Tool for Evaluating Sites) is a framework used to assess the environmental and social performance of building sites and development projects. It helps organizations evaluate factors like water use, energy efficiency, waste management, and community impact to ensure sustainable practices. By providing a structured set of criteria, SITES supports the design and development of projects that reduce environmental footprint, enhance resource efficiency, and promote healthy, resilient communities. It is widely used in landscape architecture, architecture, and planning to guide sustainable site development and achieve better environmental and societal outcomes.
