USGBC

I had the opportunity to go to the U.S. Green Building Council headquarters. It is a VERY cool place with state of the art everything! They pump you full of useful information about LEED certification and the materials they use in their office building. They, of course, have Platinum LEED status and everything conserves energy, uses sustainable materials, and promotes a healthy work environment. Their favorite word to use is "biofilaments"- bringing the outside inside.
