For leaders of the green building industry, standards are weaved throughout the mission of the company. The leaders in green building and sustainable construction have been incorporating green components into their designs for years, before the green building movement emerged on the scene.

Site assessments by an architect are useful for many reasons: The architect:
1. Reviews the condition and characteristics of the site; 2. Analyzes the site location, driveway access, and makes notes about views;
3. Studies and notes the solar access, prevailing winds, vegetation and natural features;
4. Considers any special considerations (Shoreland Protection, land use, etc.)
