Green Building & Human Experience: Testing Green Building Strategies with Volunteered Geographic Information
June 2010, U.S. Green Building Council
This USGBC Research Program white paper attempts to develop a framework for the sustained collection of data on actual human experience within the built environment by exploring the intersection between three important concepts: human experience, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and Green Building. Included is a discussion of potential opportunities to use practice-based experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of green building strategies in improving the health, safety, and well-being of occupants.

Green Building and GIS
June 2010, C.Pyke and A. Guma
Geospatial technologies are emerging as important new tools to inform and advance green building practice. This paper explores opportunities to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in a number of promising new application areas, including: Advanced, "place-based" rating systems, Building performance monitoring, and Market patterns and trends dynamics.
