Description

While there is a broad spectrum of ecological sophistication within
libraries nationwide and some regions are at the forefront of sustainable of
sustainable design and operations, others are just beginning or have yet to
integrate materials recycling into their daily practice. A few jurisdictions
are mandating LEED certified buildings and carbon-neutral practices, while
others do not yet have these concepts on their radars.

This resource will provide novice to intermediate ecological sophisticates
with tools to evaluate the greenness of their existing or planned facilities
and operations.
