Sports Arenas "Go Green"
Offices and Government buildings are not the only ones trying to "go green". There are now two sports arenas, the Philips Arena home of the Atlanta NHL Thrasher's and NBA Hawks and American Airlines Arena home of the Miami Heat, who have received there Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. It is good to see commercial buildings becoming more sustainable and environmentally friendly because their potential for positive impact on the environment is huge. If all 5.1 million commercial buildings in the U.S. followed the lead of these stadiums, it would save approximately $160 billion by 2030, and greatly reduce carbon emissions.

Not only is this great news for the promotion of building in a sustainable, responsible, and efficient way but its also opens great opportunities in marketing for these stadiums to differentiate themselves and and value.
