What this online guide lacks in writing style and finesse, it more than makes up for in content, organization, and presentation. Geared toward architects, building owners, and others interested in sustainable building design, the tool can be used to develop design priorities, goals, and strategies, and to determine benchmarks to assess performance. The tool is broken down into four categories:

• Process: Step-by-step instructions for each phase of the building life cycle.
  
  
• Strategies: Sustainable approaches to facility management in areas such as water and energy use and waste minimization.
  
  
• Documents: Sample worksheets for tracking performance.
  
  
• Case Studies: Read how other facility managers have met their sustainability goals and share your own progress.
