PITTSBURGH — Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh announced that MuseumLab® has been awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold status. LEED, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is a widely recognized green building rating system. Through design, construction, and operations practices that improve environmental and human health, LEED-certified buildings are helping to make the world more sustainable.
MuseumLab, created by and located adjacent to Children’s Museum in the historic 1890 Carnegie Library, achieved LEED Gold certification for implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions in areas including sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. Green buildings allow companies to operate more sustainably and give the people inside them a healthier, more comfortable space to work.
