ENVIRONMENT THIS WEEK
	DESERT MUSEUMS IN PLATINUM Another building type shattered the dual-glazed, low-e glass ceiling in April 2008 when the U.S. Green Building Council first awarded LEED Platinum certification to a museum complex.
	GETTING GREEN PRODUCTS RIGHT Green project requirements can be found just about anywhere in the contract documents.
