Going Green. Keeps Roofs Green.

Posted on November 30th, 2010 by admin

We would like to congratulate Shelley from Boston, MA, our big winner of November’s Green Photo of the Month contest, with a $50 prize! Shelley was in Baltimore for work and she realized that the Fairfield Inn she was staying at was a LEED-certified hotel. In fact, it is the first LEED-certified hotel in Baltimore! LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system.

The picture depicts the hotel’s green roof and skylight for natural sunlight. Green roofs are an efficient way for absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, and helping to lower urban air temperatures to combat the heat island effect.

Thanks to everyone that participated in our contest. Keep them pictures coming for the next one!
