Our islands our future : guide to green building in the USVI : agency staff field guide Guide to green building in the USVI

"This guide is meant to serve as a practice manual demonstrating the concepts detailed in the accompanying classroom module for agency staff. The guide follows the layout of the classroom module, moving through project review, review of best management practices (BMPs), and green landscaping. The guide, along with the classroom module, is meant to be a training tool for practicing the concepts of green design and construction review in the field or in a classroom setting to familiarize you with how to incorporate these concepts in project review, including recommendations to permit applicants, permit special conditions, and site inspections. The guide is divided into three sections - [1]project review: incorporating natural resource conservation through green design; [2] project review - construction BMPs; and [2] site inspection. You can review each of the sections in any order based on your interest"--Introduction. 2013 NOS (National Ocean Service) CoRIS (Coral Reef Information System) Library Public Domain 1936
