Thirty North American cities and counties will participate in a year-long pilot program to evaluate and test the first national rating system for community sustainability. The program was announced on Nov. 14 at the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Greenbuild conference, held in San Francisco on Nov. 14-16. The STAR Community Rating System is the nation's first voluntary, self-reporting framework for evaluating the sustainability of communities. The so-called STAR Pilot Communities will be the first to receive a community sustainability rating using a technical guide, an online reporting tool, and various products and services.
