Before You Buy Green Products
Before purchasing green products, consumers should ask important questions to avoid being misled by false environmental claims, known as "greenwashing". Key questions to ask include who certified the product as green and what standards they used. Common misleading claims include products with only a small percentage of recycled content or claims that a product helps earn LEED certification points without considering overall building practices. It's important to consider a product's full ingredients, manufacturing process, transportation impacts and end-of-life disposal to determine if it truly has benefits for both people and the environment.

Green Building Basics
Green building refers to designing, constructing, and renovating buildings in a way that prioritizes human and environmental health.

Green building has grown significantly in recent years and provides economic and environmental benefits by reducing energy and water usage and waste.

LEED Introduction
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a third-party certification program for the design, construction, and operation of green buildings. It is administered by the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council) and gives tools to have an immediate impact on a building's performance. Buildings are rated on categories like energy use and receive certification levels of certified, silver, gold, or platinum. There are different LEED rating systems for different building types like new construction, interiors, and neighborhoods. LEED 2009 made changes including realigning rating systems and reweighting credits based on impact.
Creating Safe Learning Zones: The ABC's of Healthy Schools
This document discusses the special vulnerabilities of children and why it is important to create safe learning environments free of toxic chemicals. It notes that children spend much of their day at school during critical periods of growth and development, and that their bodies are still developing, making them more susceptible to environmental influences. While growth is most rapid from conception to age 7, development continues through adolescence as key systems mature. The document advocates taking steps to prevent unnecessary exposure to toxins in schools that may pose health risks to children.

The Humane Metropolis: People and Nature in the 21st-Century City [full text]Sustainable Performance Institute
By Rutherford H. Platt
A Subversive Little Book “This is a book by people who like cities.” Thus began William H. Whyte Jr.’s introduction to a subversive little book with the polemical title The Exploding Metropolis: A Study of the Assault on Urbanism and How Our Cities Can Resist It (Editors of Fortune 1957, hereinafter cited as TEM). Drawing on a roundtable of urban experts convened by two prominent magazines, Fortune and Architectural Forum, the book in six short essays reexamined the nature of cities and city building in the postwar era. The book also defi ned future agendas for “Holly” Whyte (as he was fondly known by his friends) and fellow editor Jane Jacobs.

Webinar: Real Green: Why To Track Performance in your Buildings
The document discusses tracking environmental performance in buildings to drive continuous improvement. It outlines a general 4-phase process for performance tracking: 1) evaluate current performance and set benchmarks, 2) collect and analyze data, 3) create regular performance reports, and 4) implement improvement actions and track progress. Key points include setting organizational goals, finding existing data sources, defining appropriate metrics, automating data collection, and using performance information to prioritize high-impact changes. The overall goal is to close the loop from measurement to action.

Webinar: There And Back Again: The Principles of Cradle to Cradle
Cradle to Cradle® Certification is a multi-attribute eco-label that assesses a product’s safety to humans and the environment and design for future life cycles. The program provides guidelines to help businesses implement the Cradle to Cradle framework, which focuses on using safe materials that can be disassembled and recycled as technical nutrients or composted as biological nutrients. Unlike single-attribute eco-labels, MBDC’s certification program takes a comprehensive approach to evaluating the sustainability of a product and the practices employed in manufacturing the product. The materials and manufacturing practices of each product are assessed in five categories: Material Health, Material Reutilization, Renewable Energy Use, Water Stewardship, and Social Responsibility. Click here for complete description of Certification Criteria .
Tish Tablan will deliver a presentation on the Cradle to Cradle® framework and how building professionals can use it to create more sustainable buildings. This webinar provides 1 GBCI CE for LEED Credential Maintenance.
Case Study: Sustainable Mixed-Use Development in Historic Urban Areas
Case Study: Sustainable Mixed-Use Development in Historic Urban AreasSustainable Performance Institute
As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.Webinar: Become a LEED AP and Maintain Your Credential
