I love hearing stories about old buildings, especially iconic and massive ones, getting a serious green makeover. The US Treasury Department HQ in Washington, which took 33 years to build (1836-1869), has just achieved gold-level LEED certification.

So now, if people say to you, “and what other historic large office buildings besides the Empire State Building have gone green?” you can cite this great example. (Via GreenBiz.com)
