u.s. green building council honors brad pitt for new orleans initiative


Read original article here.

This is a fantastic step in my opinion. Some people would critize the work that Brad Pitt is doing as being purely "cliche" and only reflects the current media buzz around Green Buildings, but I would have to say "poo" to that! They have 13 buildings already certified to the LEED Platinum (highest level) and 150 houses still left to build. I assure you that Platinum is no simple task on any level.

I am interested to know if the homes have been designed to accomodate the new LEED levels moving forward, because there were some significant changes in the way LEED evaluates and awards points to new homes.

Keep on going Brad!
