Certified Sustainable Buildings

This dataset combines information from four sustainable building programs to show the extent and location of sustainable buildings in Cambridge. For inclusion in this data set, a building must meet at least one of the following criteria: - Received LEED certification under a LEED system that required the whole building to meet sustainability standards; - Received Passive House certification from the Passive House Institute (PHI) or Phius; - Received certification from Enterprise Green Communities; or - Received Energy Star certification with the most recent certification in 2016 or after. Some buildings meet two or more of these criteria. Information provided about the applicable sustainable building programs for qualifying buildings includes certification levels, certification types, ratings, or scores where available. In this dataset, we use Cambridge GIS Building IDs as unique identifiers for certified sustainable buildings. Buildings IDs refer to one physical structure, even if there are multiple street addresses associated with that structure.
