The greener side of Pittsburgh

Dear Friend,

 

With 109 total buildings certified, Pittsburgh ranks fourth in LEED Certified Green Buildings in 2012. In the category of LEED Certified Silver-rated Buildings, Pittsburgh outpaced the benchmark average (21 Certified Silver-rated buildings), to finish the year with a total of 46 Certified Silver-rated buildings. 

 

 

A new Green Building Trend chart has been added to PittsburghTODAY to show how Pittsburgh compares to the Benchmark Average and its peer benchmark cities with regards to Green Building development from 2000 to 2012. 

 

On the topic of green, we encourage you to attend Sustainable Pittsburgh's 12th annual Smart Growth Conference tomorrow at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. This year's conference will focus on transportation funding, green infrastructure, and finance for urban redevelopment. For information about the conference and to register online please click here. 

 

Thanks for your interest,

 

Douglas Heuck
