<p>Evidence Based Design (EBD) has a broad potential scope of 
impact from which each organization and researcher selects what will be 
most beneficial to their goals.&nbsp; Green building design, technologies, 
and processes are in constant development putting sustainability 
application in a state of permanent flux and experimentation. &nbsp;Often, 
those new to sustainability will write off a sustainability concept if 
it doesn&rsquo;t work perfectly on the first try.&nbsp; EBD provides an 
intermediary step &ndash; rather than giving up on an idea, EBD uses an 
evolutionary process to collect and analyze data in such a way as to 
improve sustainability over time based on evidence.&nbsp; By building on the 
body of existing research through EBD, design teams and building owners 
alike can positively move the sustainability movement forward.</p>
