Capital GREEN Toolkit
Capital GREEN outlines environmentally responsible strategies that apply toward Seattle capital projects. Under the City of Seattle’s Sustainable Buildings and Sites Policy, projects less than 5,000 square feet, as well as projects not eligible for a LEED rating, shall include the completion of a Capital Green checklist in order to assess opportunities for incorporating sustainable building features in the project. The project types addressed by Capital GREEN include small new construction and remodeling projects, such as expansions and renovation projects, as well as tenant improvement projects.
Capital GREEN was originally developed by the Capital Project's Division of the Department of Facilities and Administrative Services for use on capital or publically funded projects. It was updated by the Office of Sustainability and Environment in 2012 for use by all City Capital Departments.
Capital GREEN has six categories that mirror the City of Seattle's environmental goals and policies:
- Site
- Water
- Energy
- Climate
- Materials
- Indoor Environment
