Sarasota Public Buildings going Green

Building to Standards of the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program to the projects.



LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.



The Whole Foods Market in Sarasota is also a LEED-certified structure, as is the Girl Scouts headquarters designed by Guy Peterson on Proctor Road. Thirty more Sarasota projects are in planning or construction, according to the U.S. Green Building Council’s Web site.



Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has mandated that all new public buildings in the state be built to LEED standards.
