U.S. Green Building Council
The U.S. Green Building Council is a non-profit community of leaders working to make green buildings available to everyone within a generation.

AIA Committee on the Environment Top Ten Green Projects
Each year, AIA COTE recognizes notbale high performance, sustainably designed buildings.

Construction Carbon Calculator
The Construction Carbon Calculator uses averaged data to calculate the rough amount of embodied carbon, the carbon that was released when a building was constructed. The calculator takes into account average amounts for building materials, getting them to the site and installation.

Austin Energy Green Building
AustinEnergy Green Building was the first green building rating system in the country and continues to be a driving force in the green building movement.

High Performance Building Perspective and Practice
Through case studies of over a dozen LEED projects, this documentary, created by USGBC and the Rocky Mountain Institute, provides the business case for building green.

High Performing Buildings
A complementary quarterly magazine, published by ASHRAE, that focuses on energey-efficient building design and operation.

Whole Building Design Guide
The National Institute of Building Sciences provides information on integrated whole building design guidance, project management, and operations and maintenance.
