Over the last few months I have been working with a group of people from Greensburg GreenTown and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to create case studies of new buildings in Greensburg, Kansas. We recently launched the website at greensburg.buildinggreen.com with an initial offering of 6 buildings.

The Greensburg case study website is a little different than the others that we manage for a couple reasons: many of these are unfinished projects, and the case studies are constantly evolving (as opposed to updated semi-regularly). Additionally, I am really excited that we integrated Google Maps and Google Earth for a whole new way to navigate the projects. So far only two of the buildings show up on the maps because the addresses of some buildings have not been released. For those using Google Earth, I recommend downloading the KML layer of before and after images of the town.

We hope that you find this website useful and informative. Don't forget to check out the Greensburg GreenTown website to learn more about the town and work that is going on, and if you are involved in a project there, please consider submitting a case study.
