A brief is a short version of a case study.

Using one-half the energy and one-third the potable water of a comparable building, the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum Heifer International World Headquarters reflects the sustainable mission of its owner and developer, Heifer International—a nonprofit group dedicated to alleviating hunger and creating self-sustaining communities worldwide. The 94,000-square-foot (8,733-m2) corporate headquarters consolidates the organization’s operations—previously scattered in multiple buildings around Little Rock—in a single structure on a 25-acre lot located adjacent to the Clinton Presidential Library, a pedestrian entertainment district, and a 60-acre (24.3-ha) greenbelt. Arkansas’s largest brownfield reclamation, Heifer International World Headquarters has served as a catalyst for the continued redevelopment of Little Rock’s underused warehouse district.
