The
primary importance of good site selection is to preserve local ecology. The site
location also influences things that may not seem directly related to the site
for example: choosing a site in an area close to public transit or in already
developed areas helps to reduce the amount of driving done by building
occupants. Or, building on a brownfield site makes use of existing
infrastructure and can lead to the rehabilitation of a polluted site.
