It's true that structures that incorporate 'green' design elements are inherently inventive, since they often utilize state-of-the-art technologies in order to have minimum impact on the environment.
However, there are some buildings that go above and beyond even green conventions in order to meet Gold- or even Platinum-level LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) building certification standards. From a water facility with a 30,000-square-foot green roof to a nonprofit center with a 42-gallon water tank that stores rainwater for reuse, these eight award-winning architectural superstars are truly green trailblazers.
