Austin Independent School District's Sustainable Building Goals for Schools Checklist
This comprehensive document is a compilation of sustainability initiatives for the Austin Independent School District (AISD). Over 25 people contributed, edited, and revised the checklist in order to strike a balance between long and short term needs, district standards, and bond program goals.
The checklist illustrates the integration and
teamwork
among disciplines that is necessary for an exemplary
sustainable project. Although designed specifically for
AISD, the information contained could be applied to
many construction projects. It can be used as a guide
by any architect, engineer, contractor, consultant,
project manager or facility planner who wants to
incorporate green building techniques in their project.
Of course, each project has its own programming,
design, and climate constraints that may add or delete
some sections of the checklist.
