Google recently received the highest rating by the U.S. Green Building Council – LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resource and sensitivity to their impacts.
