Environment and Behavior: Researching Case Studies

NYSID's subscription to the BuildingGreen suite provides you access to their High Performance Buildings Database:

The High Performance Buildings Database (HPB) provides case studies of projects ranging from homes and commercial interiors to large buildings and even whole campuses and neighborhoods. These may be certified green projects, or simply projects that have one or more notable environmental features. Building Green reviews each published case study to focus on useful lessons and consistent energy and environmental data.

You can search through case studies using these characteristics:

• By Name of Project

• By Owner of Project

• By Location of Project

• By Energy Data

• By Building Type and Size

• Detailed Search

• List all 366 HPB case studies

• List all 200 LEED® Certified Projects

Architectural Record Building Studies are also a good source for case studies. They provide "monthly, in-depth analysis of particular kinds of buildings, with photos, drawings, specifications, detailed descriptions, and design solutions."
