1. BECOMING GREEN Santa Margarita High School Academic Building

2. You see it everywhere BECOMING GREEN

3. What is LEED LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification provides independent verification that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures. All certified projects receive a LEED plaque, which is the nationally recognized symbol demonstrating that a building is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to live and work. BECOMING GREEN
