Transamerica Pyramid - San Francisco, CA - LEED Buildings on Waymarking.com

From the article: " The Transamerica Pyramid has achieved LEED Gold Certification, the U.S. Green Building Council's second highest energy efficiency rating.

Only a handful of skyscrapers across the country meet the standards for LEED, which stands for Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design, according to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's office.

The iconic Transamerica Pyramid building now generates 70 percent of its own electricity, and it recycles or composts 70 percent of its waste products, according to the building's management.

A water-use reduction program has cut water consumption by 50 percent, and the building produces 20 percent less carbon dioxide overall." (visit link)
