Built to accommodate students who were previously bused to schools outside their neighborhood, Cesar Chavez Elementary School is the Long Beach Unified School District's first school built using California's Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) green design principles. The K-5 school, a major project in the City of Long Beach's downtown redevelopment zone, includes joint-use spaces for the City's Parks, Recreation, and Marine Department and for a Long Beach Memorial Hospital Children's Clinic to support community and student wellness programs. These community uses were included to a catalyze redevelopment and encourage community unity and pride.

Designed by Chicago-based Farr Associates Architecture and Urban Design, the building uses solar and geothermal energy, a rooftop garden, and a natural habitat to filter storm water. The city invested $9 million in clean-up costs and another $5.4 million toward construction and renovation. The 1952 building is surrounded by a 17-acre site that was formerly the Sacramento Crushing Corporation, a construction materials recycler. The company was closed in 1996 after 600,000 cubic yards of waste were discovered on the site. The money for the Chicago Center for Green Technology came from a settlement with the Commonwealth Edison Company.

Located at the corner of a main off-ramp of the Santa Monica freeway, Colorado Court's highly visible position makes it a gateway to the city. The 44-unit, five-story building is the first affordable-housing project in the United States to be 100% energy neutral. This project is an excellent model of sustainable development in an urban environment, provides a model for private/public partnerships that benefit the community, and promotes diversity in an urban environment through strategically placed affordable housing.

This modular "pavilion in the park" was designed to be demountable and transportable for future disassembly and reassembly at multiple future locations. Its first use was for an exhibit telling the story of Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood—its past, present, and future.

Eastern Village Cohousing (EVC) is a green building that represents a new direction in mixed-income, urban, residential development. Located in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, it consists of 56 residential condominium units. Cohousing communities such as EVC constitute small-scale neighborhoods providing balance between personal privacy and community living, wherein neighbors share in community activities, decision-making, work, and play. Residents have been involved from the beginning of the project, helping to plan and program EVC, and will participate to a high degree in the management of the community.

The Florida House Learning Center demonstrates "earth-friendly" conservation technology and design for living in southwest Florida. The one-story house is a modernized "Old Florida Cracker" style with two or three bedrooms, two baths, and extensive indoor and outdoor spaces. It uses approximately half the water and electricity of a typical home. The emphasis of the house is on environmentally responsible construction without sacrificing livability.

The goal of the Herman Miller MarketPlace was to create a prototype office environment that supports progressive business-place thinking within a sustainable framework. The expectation of this 95,000-square-foot speculative office was nothing less than that it be a great place to work.
