Leave it to green architecture blog Jetson Green to come up with a list of incredible LEED Platinum projects from around the world. The 34 residential and commercial buildings on the list include the twin eco towers planned for Abu Dhabi, the world’s first LEED platinum museum and Justin Timberlake’s golf course buildings. The list is comprised of all the LEED platinum buildings Jetson Green has covered throughout 2008, underscoring the fantastic growth we’ve seen in green building despite economic uncertainty.
From Jetson Green:
There’s so much innovation in the green building space, it’s pretty hard to keep up with it all. I mean, check out these articles below. In the past year alone, we’ve discussed at least thirty-four different LEED Platinum projects — some are done, some are under way, and some are still on the boards. Wow, what an incredible year in green building news! Innovation at the highest rung of the USGBC’s LEED system continues. And so you know, we plan to pay more attention to the greenest of green projects over the next year.
