What We Do
We provide education, advocacy, and project support for City public project teams. Our aim is to meet or exceed City policy including Austin’s Green Building Policy (PDF 3.4MB) and Climate Equity Plan. To accomplish our City's important sustainability and equity goals, we provide the 360 Process, Lens and Toolbox to advance City assets.

 


 
Why We Do It
Our rapidly changing community needs a sustainable direction now more than ever.

Advancing our City's built environment while having a focus on inclusion for our community matters. Leading by example is one of the 360 Team's primary focuses.

How We Do It
The 360 Team looks at public assets using a 360-degree view. This employs a full circle approach from the start of the project through its eventual deconstruction or reuse. Performance is the longest phase of the life cycle, and reaching high performance begins in planning and design. When the asset reaches the "end" of its life, the cycle continues into reuse and extended community benefit.

The 360 Process is a comprehensive management approach. It uses green rating systems as tools to achieve sustainability goals and to best serve the community. Moreover, scope, schedule and budget outcomes improve when this process is integrated early. The 360 Process achieves high-performing assets contributing to a sustainable and equitable Austin.
