St. Louis is one of the leading metropolitan areas in green building nationally. St. Louis was ranked 9th in the U.S. for the number of LEED-certified buildings by the U.S Green Building Council in 2007. This includes construction firm, Alberici Group’s, LEED Platinum headquarters, one of only nine in the world at this level in 2006. "The LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings."
