Pilot Projects intend to serve as a learning experience for both the owner-agency and the Project Team. Pilot Project assessments are less formal than Certification, but follow the same general rubric and process. If you are not familiar with sustainability or just appreciate being able to test out something new before you implement it, this is probably a good place to start with Greenroads.
Pilot Projects have the added benefit of limited use of the Greenroads Pilot Project logo, which can be a good way to encourage engagement with stakeholders (especially on large projects!) Pilot Projects are also featured on our website and are shared as learning tools for other project teams.
In this option, we review the following standard project documents for general compliance with the current version of the Greenroads Rating System:
Based on these resources, we can provide a credit-by-credit assessment of the project and a score for the project as a whole in a short technical memo. Typically, the Pilot Project is most appropriate for projects that are already built or are nearly built and serves as a "lessons learned" roadmap for future projects.
