Green Site and Building Guidelines

The Town of Banff Green Site and Building Guidelines provide a framework for thinking about and understanding the concept of green buildings and their sites.  It identifies ten key issues for consideration, as well as key objectives to be achieved within each issue area.  Where relevant and appropriate, performance requirements have been stipulated.  A range of recommended practices for implementing each of the objectives is provided, as well as case studies, analyses, and other relevant pieces of information.  The intent is to provide some guidance on how to progress from the desire to build green to actually doing so.

Prepared as part of an ongoing initiative by the Town of Banff to demonstrate leadership as an environmental stewardship, the Green Site and Building Guidelines serve as a complement to Banff's many other sustainability initiatives.
