Sitequality is the interrelationshipof regional, community, neighborhoodandlocation-specif icsystems thatcollectivelycomprise thephysicalsettingwithinwhich new constructionor renovationoccurs.High-performancegreenbuildingsoptimize thepositive attributesof these systems, seek to repair that which isdamaged in each, andwork to achieve thebest possiblebalancebetween theprogrammaticneedsof theprojectand thehostsite thatsupportsit. Therequire-mentsofsitesystemsare those that support thephysicalpresenceof thestruc-ture,addressitsdemandforenergy,allowfor nutrientandresourceflows through
the facility to the site, andotherwiseprovide thebalanceof functional needsdependentonbuilding typeandprogrammaticissues.

In high-performance green buildings,materials are evaluated comprehen-sively. Inconventionalconstruction,buildingprojectsare typicallyevaluatedonlyon first cost. High-performancebuildingsconsiderall life-cyclecosts. Benefitscanalsobederivedfromreusingconstructionmaterialsandutilizingenvironmen-tallyfriendlymaterials. Overall, thisleads toahighqualitydesign thataccountsfor the environmental costsassociatedwith creating,procuring and assemblingmaterials, aswell as their impact on buildingoccupantswhen the structure iscompleted.
