Exterior view of Girl Scouts' Science & Technology Lodge. Hockessin, DE
In 2009 we photographed the Girl Scouts’ Science and Technology Lodge in Hockessin, Delaware for Re:Vision Architecture and S C & A Construction. This building was the first to qualify for Platinum LEED certification in the state of Delaware. LEED or “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” is a certification process for green buildings, with Platinum being the highest ranking.
In this time of rising energy costs and stress on the environment, LEED certified buildings are a way to create more sustainable structures.
