The Green Communities Criteria represent:
• an evolving technical tool for developers and project team members • the qualification requirements for Enterprise’s Green Communities program• a policy mechanism that enables government agencies to advance green affordable housing through program administration and/or legislation

Best Practice: Integrated design process begins with project realities, objectives
1) Get the Facts• Site constraints / advantages• Pro forma and range of cost options• Neighborhood and community
2) Identify the Needs• The market and project differentiation• Family and place
3) Establish development goals and desired outcomes for the project• Financial fitness• Community wellbeing• Environmental health

Best Practice: Strong design teams lead to better results
1) Inclusion of key disciplines and stakeholders is critical• Must include bldg maintenance staff• Involve community stakeholders early on, and consider them
part of design team• Engage local officials and building inspectors
2) Plans and/or specifications must reflect green building criteria
Advanced Energy assessment: • Criteria found in the plans and specifications were found in
the buildings 95% of the time.• Criteria NOT found in the plans or specifications were
found in the buildings 37% of the time.

Programmatic Elements
Raising the bar – increased number of optional pts required
Distinguishing between technical reqts for substantial and moderate rehab, but encouraging both
Encouraging dual or multiple certifications if deemed appropriate by project team
Qualification Reqts

Best Practice: Development of tools and processes to better integrate and evaluate criteria
1) Hybrid checklists that crosswalk multiple program criteria
• Include unique measures and eliminate duplicative ones
2) Project management tools • Emphasize quality assurance protocols
3) Evaluation is only way to ensure performance
• Establish rater capacity in-house

Best Practice: Implement a program that works for govt agencies, developers alike
1) Build consensus
2) Review application in other jurisdictions
3) Select appropriate program and review mechanisms for the local capacity / conditions
