Parameters of Site Selection & Analysis
Site Analysis
synthesis. It primarily deals with basic data as it relates to a specific site. The
impact on the local and global environments, ongoing costs (utility bills,
for human and environmental health are causing us to take a closer look at
our building practices, starting with the building site. Whether selecting a
site or working with an existing site, and whether the site is urban, suburban
or rural, there are many aspects that can be examined with respect to how
“green”, that is how healthy for people and the planet, the home on that site
both for business and government. Site selection involves measuring the
The purpose of the readiness review is to assess when to begin the formal
and informal site selection activities, to determine whether there are any
significant changes in the assumptions of the Feasibility Study and Site and
Design Prospectus, and to identify any emerging issues and information that
