The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released the results of a study they were conducting on environmental buildings. The study focused on different cities around the U.S. and determined which cities had the most energy efficient buildings. And guess which city was the forerunner in green buildings... our very own LA! Other cities that placed in the top five included Washington D.C., San Francisco, Denver, and Chicago. The EPA's press release also reported that in 2009 alone, 3,900 commercial buildings across the U.S. have recieved the EPA Energy Star classification and have raked in "annual savings of more than $900 million in utility bills and more than 4.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions." That's pretty impressive for a years work.
