Seattle and SF have some of the highest square footage (275 million and 239 million) of #LEEDBuildings given their populations. #sustainability #sustainabledesign #sustainablebuildings

#LEEDBuildings most popular rating (in terms of achieved square footage) has been consistently Gold, but while all ratings climbed dramatically in 2008, they've been in decline since 2016 (though I wonder if that has more to do with the rate of building construction?)

Recently listened to the @PracticeofArch@twitter.com podcast on #climateaction with @DesignFuturePod@twitter.com's @lindsaytherobot@twitter.com and @KiraGould@twitter.com, which was really interesting on a number of levels (and prompted this look into @USGBC@twitter.com's #LEEDBuildings data set)
