Landscape Performance: Documenting Economic, Ecologic and Social Value
TBD
Translating living architecture into measurable performance benefits has never been so important, but quantifying and communicating the environmental, economic, and social value can be challenging. This session will review the Landscape Performance Series, an online interactive set of resources for agencies, designers, and advocates to quantify benefits and make the case for sustainable landscape solutions and integrated design and planning. Here we present case studies with green roofs and green walls, tools and methods to calculate the benefits of built projects, and other resources to help you make the case and show the value of your projects.
Speaker: Barbara Deutsch, ASLA, GRP, Landscape Architecture Foundation
