Green Building Case Studies

This page allows users to navigate between the details of green building case studies conducted with various institutions. These cases will serve as a resource for colleges and universities interested in starting their own green building projects. Site visitors can also communicate with the project teams who managed these projects.

In addition to the case study pages, visitors can access portions of audio recordings captured during the Green Building Case Study Interviews where facility managers, design and construction teams offer advice and encouragement based on their experience during the green building process on their campuses.
