Architects Name 10 Best 'Green' Buildings
|
 Reuters reported that the best environmentally friendly buildings in the United States include a visitor center in Texas, a water treatment plant in Connecticut and a house in California, the American Institute of Architects has announced.
In presenting its "Top Ten Green Projects," the group celebrated the best examples of sustainable architecture and environmental design.
"What few people realize is that buildings have the greatest impact on climate change — more than transportation and industry — because they consume so much electricity and natural gas, and they're all powered by power plants that themselves produce carbon emissions," said AIA spokesman Scott Frank.
