Description: Light Imprint (LI) is a planning and development strategy that emphasizes sustainability, pedestrian-oriented design and increased environmental and infrastructural efficiency while reducing a community's anticipated construction expenses. The Light Imprint Initiative establishes transect-based environmental performance metrics, something LEED-ND lacks. This handbook provides an overview of the Initiative and features data-based Light Imprint case studies.
