Landscape Performance Series

The Landscape Performance Series (LPS) was developed to build capacity to achieve sustainability and transform the way landscape is considered in the design and development process. It brings together information and innovations from research, industry, academia, and professional practice. We hope that you will use the LPS resources regularly and often to: 

• Find precedents, show value, and make the case for sustainable landscape solutions
• Explore metrics and methods to quantify environmental, social, and economic benefits
• Earn professional development hours (PDHs) by attending a presentation or webinar
• Browse and share teaching materials to integrate landscape performance into design curricula
• Stay current on landscape performance news and trends

There are multiple subsections within the Series site that may be useful to readers and researchers: 

• Case Study Briefs - Database of exemplary projects with quantified landscape benefits
• Fast Fact Library - Facts on the benefits of landscape derived from published research
• Benefits Toolkit - Online calculators and tools to estimate landscape performance
• Collections - Themed LPS highlights curated by the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) and leading thinkers
