CASE STUDY SUBMISSION

Call for case studies closed.

The Sustainable Sites Initiative would like to collect case studies that use sustainable land development and management practices. We invite you to submit projects that monitor and document the success or failure of sustainable land practices. It is not required that the project be a sustainable site in all respects but rather that it illustrates such sustainable practices as stormwater management, integrated design teams, water conservation, habitat restoration (soil, vegetation and wildlife), education, user health and well-being, materials selection and management and others.

By submitting information, you are granting permission to the Sustainable Sites Initiative to use and share this information for reports, products, website, media and presentations. Any information submitted may be made public but is not guaranteed to be selected. No alterations will be made to the submitted material without the final approval of the Project Team Contact listed below.

At the end of the form below, we will ask you to upload 2-3 photos of your project (please limit each to a size of 1024 x 768, 100 KB). If selected, we will contact your for more information and higher resolution photos and graphics.

If you have any questions about the case study submission or technical problems with the form below, please contact casestudy@sustainablesites.org.

Thank you for your time!

8. Approximate Size of the project:

9. Existing Land Use Type:

Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.

Existing urban redevelopment or Greyfields Greyfields are economically obsolescent, outdated, failing, moribund and/or underutilized real estate assets or land

Greenfields is land that has not been previously developed or graded and remain in its natural state.
10. Project Type:
If you selected "Other", please specify:


11. Describe the design, construction or maintenance issues this project addressed in a sustainable manner and the strategies used to address these issues. Were additional issues solved in conjunction with this strategy? Describe the reasons for selecting these strategies (e.g. client goal, local regulations, bioregional characteristics, engineering data, reduced costs).

12. Provide the monitoring data that has already been collected that shows the success/failure of a sustainable land practice. If the project has not been fully completed, provide the monitoring plan and type of data that is planned for this project.

13. Costs (or projected costs) of sustainable strategies. How does this relate to conventional practices? Please provide quantitative data.

14. What are the follow-up maintenance and management strategies? What are the costs of these strategies? Please provide quantitative data.

15. Does the project have any unique constraints? If so, how were they addressed?

16. Lessons learned from the project that will influence future work or improve existing practices.
