Creating a public Web database about high-performance (green) buildings.

Author(s) : CRAWLEY D. B.

Summary

A US federal agency has developed a public web database to centralize and distribute information about sustainable and high-performance buildings. Available since May 2002, the database now currently contains more than 40 complete case studies with more than 50 more nearing completion. The database collects information related to physical attributes, design process, finance and cost, siting, water use, landscaping, materials, indoor air quality, and energy use of building projects. It uses this information to produce case studies of building projects, which include photo galleries as well as bibliographies of any additional information published about the buildings. Anyone can submit a building project into the database for review and eventual publication at www.highperformancebuildings.gov.
