AAAS Building Earns LEED Platinum Rating

摘要

AAAS has earned one of the highest marks awarded to existing green buildings: a LEED Platinum EB rating from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. The rating system provides an internationally recognized, independent verification of a building's performance with regard to energy savings, water efficiency, carbon emission reduction, and other measures of environmental impact. The AAAS building is one of the few previously existing structures in Washington, D.C., to earn the platinum rating.
