Site sustainability addresses the environmental impacts involved in the process of site design, development and post-development activities. Buildings and associated development often disrupts natural ecosystems and increases the negative effects of erosion, storm water runoff and summer heat sinks. The location of a building site can impact greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants based on available options for alternative modes of transportation including pedestrian proximity to basic services and residential communities.
