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.
