Sustainability in Civil Engineering

The Building Research Establishment Energy Assessment Manual (BREEAM) was developed in the UK, and is used in 77 countries around the world.

This online tool allows designers to figure the gap between estimated energy calculations and actual building performance.

The USGBC produces the LEED green building guidelines, and certifies buildings that conform to its standards.

Information on integrated ''Whole Buillding' design techniques and technologies from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The WGBC is a global network of Green Building Councils in around 70 countries that are dedicated to reducing the carbon load of buildings through sustainable design.
