  Home/Affordable, LEED, Multifamily/Affordable Metro Green Seeks LEED Gold
  At Metro Green, residents benefit from a number of green elements, including a rainwater harvesting system, a high-performance building envelope, bike storage room, energy-efficient mechanical systems, abundant natural light, and green building materials that use recycled, low-VOC components.
  If you're in the neighborhood, there will be a ribbon cutting from 10:30 am to noon at Metro Green on Monday, September 21, 2009. The building was designed by Perkins Eastman Architects to exceed Enterprise Green Communities guidelines and built with a budget of approximately $20 million.

  Its great to see so many new green apartment complexes. Often apartments are the worst for energy efficiency. My apartment was built in the 70s and I have a lot of trouble with losing heat during the winter. Weather stripping can only go so far, but a green building like this will not have that trouble.
