Group to promote state legislative efforts to build green schools
A trade group that promotes green building design is urging state legislatures to form caucuses to support environmentally sustainable schools.
The U.S. Green Building Council, the Washington, D.C.-based group that promulgates the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating tool, is spearheading the "50 for 50" effort to lower school energy and maintenance costs and bolster student learning and health.
