Many landscape architects implement sustainable design protocols into their design processes regardless of having the objective to gain SITES certification. This exploratory study examines the question, "How do the design processes differ between SITES certified and noncertified urban open space projects?" By analyzing and documenting the presence and nature of differences, this study aims to strengthen the objective of SITES certification for the purpose of recognition and validation of existing sustainable landscape architectural practices.

520 $a Many landscape architects implement sustainable design protocols into their design processes regardless of having the objective to gain SITES certification. This exploratory study examines the question, "How do the design processes differ between SITES certified and noncertified urban open space projects?" By analyzing and documenting the presence and nature of differences, this study aims to strengthen the objective of SITES certification for the purpose of recognition and validation of existing sustainable landscape architectural practices.
520 $a Our Common Future, also known as the Brundtland Report (Brundtland, 1987) proposes a global agenda for how sustainable development can be achieved, and the broader call for sustainability. In response to this report, the Sustainable SITES Initiative was modeled after LEED certification and formed to establish a rating system and comprehensive framework of guidelines for development (Calkins, 2012). SITES, as it is commonly known, is a collaborative effort between the ASLA, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, and the United States Botanic Garden. In June 2016, the Green Building Certification, Inc. of the United States Green Building Council acquired SITES and oversees subsequent certifications. SITES was formed to address the need for a coordinated response between all landscape design professionals, and to work in addition to and synergistically with LEED certification.
520 $a This comparative case study analysis compares and contrasts similar projects and their processes through qualitative research. Interviews, literature reviews, site visits and a review of records allows for examination in rich detail the patterns, similarities and contrasts of the design processes of three SITES certified urban open space projects and three noncertified urban open space projects. The three certified and noncertified projects are all in the Puget Sound area, allowing for comparability among variables within design processes.
520 $a This study pinpoints the components of sustainable landscape architectural practices and highlights landscape architecture's commitment to sustainable development. Projects can gain recognition for sustainable practice through marketing projects as SITES certified, as the LEED certification program exemplifies. This study can also inform future concurrent certifications with LEED certifications. SITES currently works synergistically with LEED certification on several components, but increased collaboration will be mutually beneficial.
