Southern California faces a variety of unique environmental and climate-related challenges that can be addressed through more sustainable land development practices. The SITES rating system can be used to develop landscapes on sites with or without buildings and takes into account significant water scarcity, coastal issues and high urban density concerns.
There are two upcoming opportunities for Southern California landscape architects, designers, engineers, architects, developers and policy makers to learn more about aligning land development and management with innovative sustainable design through the SITES rating system.
Learn about how you can incorporate SITES into your projects and professional practice by attending a SITES workshop with either USGBC Los Angeles or USGBC Orange County on September 11 or 12.
