NPR looks at massive Vegas development’s green aspirations

NPR had an interesting radio piece on a massive new development in Las Vegas called City Center that is aiming to achieve a LEED Silver rating. The piece looked at some of the purposes behind the LEED rating system (basically to standardize the environmental credentials of developments), as well as some criticisms (e.g., that since LEED ratings are based on a point system, a development that installs bike racks could receive the same credit as a development that installs a costly but efficient heating system). The radio piece runs for about five minutes and is pretty interesting, especially for anyone who has read our previous posts about LEED.
