Pilot Projects Put SITES into Action

More than 150 pilot projects in all scales commit to applying the guidelines. The Sustainable Sites Initiative™ (SITES™) has selected pilot projects to test a national rating system for sustainable landscape design, construction, and maintenance.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture, New Orleans’s Lower Ninth Ward Sustainable Infrastructure Project, and the Indianapolis Super Bowl Village join more than 150 other projects that include educational centers, transportation corridors, industrial complexes, and private residences in employing cutting-edge guidelines and performance benchmarks outlined in the SITES Rating System. Pilot project locations and descriptions can be found at
