Through strategies in the SITES rating system, projects can reduce carbon emissions, limit fossil fuel consumption, and protect and create carbon sinks. Join Kevin Burke of the Atlanta BeltLine and Pamela Conrad of CMG Landscape Architecture to explore how your SITES project can be a part of the climate solution. Administered by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), SITES offers a comprehensive rating system designed to distinguish sustainable landscapes, measure their performance and elevate their value. SITES certification is for development projects located on sites with or without buildings—ranging from national parks to corporate campuses, streetscapes to homes, and more.
